Agony

Agony - Mark   Beyer, Art Spiegelman, Françoise Mouly normally I don't like stories where bad things just keep happening to people, but this little collection walks the line perfectly. It is so absurd, and amy and jordan keep narrating what is happening to them in the way that I like so much (see also: [b:Garden|8519387|Garden|Yuichi Yokoyama|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1312040905s/8519387.jpg|13386129]) that makes the action sort of... like a deadpan play? and it is cut with small moments of good fortune and levity, or just resigned existentialism, and the characters try to take care of each other, so they are not part of the violence. So it works.
