"Awkwardly Long...." on Broken Pencil

“The Awkwardly Long Book of Autobio Comics About Being an Anxiety Ridden and Depressed Person may not be concise, but it’s definitely blunt. It’s also full of relatable insecurities and awkward situations. It’s not easy to laugh at your pain, and it’s perhaps harder to turn your pain into a comic….Yet, somehow she managed to fill 32 pages with cheeky but honest comics about her struggles with depression, self-confidence and social anxiety….Cha uses her craft to analyze others, too. She resents the pressure she feels from her parents. She speaks out against racism that masquerades as comedy. There’s no such thing as lighthearted racism. “
