Description
In Hagsville vol. 2, Kelly Abeln collects autobiographical comics from 2020 to 2022. A lot of the comics relate to the COVID-19 pandemic and the toll it took on Kelly’s family’s life. Kelly split her time between quarantining with her husband, and quarantining with her parents who needed personal care.
The comics mix humor and concern, deep memories and fleeting moments. An interesting choice Kelly makes—in a collection in which almost every entry is dated—is to not place the comics in strict chronological order. As a result we move forward and backward in time by months and even years, focusing more on the events’ impact on Kelly’s family’s life rather than a clear documentation of people’s actions.
