Instantly from the cover, I was intrigued by this book; it would be short lived once I dived into it. It is essentially a collection of webcomics from creator Rosemary Mosco; some of which I had read on my various journeys on the internet.

Buni speaks to me on a generational level. This mostly fucked up collection of short stories follows buni, a character I only know the name of because it’s the title. Buni is relatable in that sometimes he’s delusional, other times he’s depressed, but mostly jacked up things happen around him.

There is no better way to describe Creative Struggle than to use the tagline. If I did that though, this would be an incredibly short review. Creative Struggle is a book of illustrations that take quotes, biographies, interviews and anything else that a famous creative person may have said and put them together.

When the “death of print” started and everyone proclaimed newspapers to be on the demise I was mortified. Not because of how many reporters would lose their jobs or how’d we get our weekly ads, but instead because of the comic section. At my house, we had a subscription to the Denver Post just for the comics. I wish that were an exaggeration but my father has never read any other section of the paper and while my mother dabbles, it’s very telling when you start in the comics section and then see what else you paid for, it’s just how we are. The charm of comic strips to me is that it’s daily. Getting just a tiny bit every day of the series you enjoy will always be better than a monthly comic.

Lady Stuff won me over with the cover. It got a slight chuckle out of me, and so I knew that I wanted to read it. Now… I’m not a lady, but I am married to one, and so I found this book to be quite amusing. It wasn’t exactly stuff I didn’t know about, but rather for me it was things I can relate to on the other side of the aisle.
