The Canary-Colored Caravan of Death


This story, well, I guess it was more of a comic, was very , for lack of better words, stupid, in my opinion. I have no experience reading comic books, so I was reading all over the page! I found it to be extremely difficult. That probably makes me out to be an idiot but whatever. Not only was I confused with the format of it all, but it was really just a confusing story in itself. First it was about her father’s death, then it was about how he killed himself, and then it was about Beech Creek and the geological location of their family residences. Eventually, it went on to the topic of writing poems and her family being isolated artists?! I must be missing the big picture.
I also noticed some inappropriate, Rated R stuff, which I found to be very surprising in an educational writing book.
It seems like a sad and depressing story, though. I mean, her father did pass away and then she acted like it was a  “not-that-big-of-a-deal-because-my-parents-have-always-avoided-me-anyways” kind of situation. She even called her father a “maniac-depressive closeted fag”.  Those are some pretty harsh words for a little girl to be saying to her suicidal father.  It also seemed like an utterly miserable story because all of the pictures were in a dreary blackish-white animation. And rarely do any of the characters have smiles on their faces. I really do not have much of a feeling towards this weirdly bizarre story other than complete confusion.
