Comic Review: PLEASE DON'T JUDGE THIS BOOK BY THE COVER by Kamila Mielczarek (Weird is the Best)

***Read it free in exchange for a review***


On the outside things often look different than they truly are.





I really enjoyed this comic diary zine. I'm a huge fan of comic diaries; some know them as autobio comics. It was pretty cool getting Kamila's perspective on things that can be quite stressful. She used humor pretty well. I chuckled a few times.


I also really appreciated her artwork, especially the quirky and indie feel. I loved the four short comics in her zine.


1) Positive Thinking In Traffic


This comic was one of my favorites. She was trying to remain positive on a stressful day, which everyone can relate to.


My favorite panels:






2) Hearts & Noughts


Another one of my favorites. I could really relate to this one. I enjoyed the different scenarios she was trying to ignore, and I loved the colors used. It really made me think of love and Valentine's Day.


My favorite page spread in the whole comic zine:





3) Watermoron




This story was cute. I liked how the watermelon got the last laugh at the end.


4) Faces of Driving


I enjoyed the witty nature of this comic. All the faces drawn with their thought processes being shown made me laugh.


This was my favorite one:





After taking a look at Kamila's Weird is the Best website, I am a fan of her art style. I'll definitely keep an eye out for her other works, especially her 1-year comic diary book coming out in July.


I RECOMMEND this book to read.


Keep smiling,
