Title: Gumballs

Author: Erin Nations

Publisher: Top Shelf Productions 2018

Genre: Graphic Novel

Pages: 160

Rating: 4/5 stars

Reading Challenges: Graphic Novel

Gumballs dispenses an array of bright, candy-colored short comics about Erin's gender transition, anecdotal true tales of growing up as a triplet, and fictional stories of a socially inept lovestruck teenager named Tobias. The wide-ranging series is filled with single-page gag cartoons, visual diaries of everyday life, funny faux personal ads, and real-life horror stories of customers at his day job. Gumballs offers a variety of flavors that will surely delight anyone with a taste for candid self-reflection and observations of humanity.

Picked this one up on the recommendation of the Reading Glasses podcast. I loved the mix of serious plot points and more humorous points. The illustrations are basic, but the dialogue and topics covered are amazing. I’ve really been enjoying graphic novel memoirs lately.
