Georges, a Portland-based queer cartoonist known for her work on zines and animal portraits, is more outwardly charming than Wertz and lives less in her head than Bechdel, but her book shares strong similarities to the work of both authors. That statement might be a turnoff for folks opposed to acerbic, intellectual material (or people with XY chromosomes), but that doesn’t mean it’s not true or necessarily a bad thing. In many ways, Nicole Georges’ memoir about her neurotic childhood and dark family secrets reads like a fusion of Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home and Julia Wertz’ autobiographical work.
