Gig economy woes and the endless stress of surviving in economic woes that seem to have you by your throat Silver Sprocket continues to deliver little nuggets of comic brilliance I really loved this one and was quite charmed by the format that moves from the character s actual blog into the action of the story The little visual gags of the ads coupled with the self deprecating jokes on food blog essays were quite a treat Until the day we are no longer held in thrall of that capricious overlord Search Engine Optimization that dictates the way we receive and fundamentally experience the world nbd.

Bottom up dfs

A story that s 1 part recipe blog 1 part comic book with a dash of sardonic humor a dollop of existential dread and a pinch of gig economy camaraderie Suzette is an over kneaded and over proofed pastry chef running a cooking blog and doing her best to share whatever culinary wisdom she s managed to scrape from the city s top kitchens Her latest post introduces interview tiramisu a dessert so good it ll land her a juicy new job opportunity Yet as she runs all over town acquiring the very best ingredients why does she get the creeping feeling that everything s about to go really really wrong Barbara Benas blends forms to create a surrealist recipe blog exploring the pressure of perfection the anxiety of creation and what happens when the grind finally wears you down Published as a deluxe comic book with a cardstock cover and foil accents Bottom s Up Maybe I need to prioritize a healthier work ethic Which I will definitely do right after I finish this Ohhhhh okay attacked Burnout is real my friends if you don t believe me just look directly at my ADHD self Maybe its a bad attitude MAYBE but consider that both can be true Anyways sometime overworking can leave you feeling fried but in Bottoms Up our adorable anthropomorphic dog chef blogger is trying to avoid being literally fried on a pan like one of their recipes when a shopping trip for chocolate takes a turn for the surreal and sinister Author and artist Barbara Benas serves up a delightfully bizarre comic that lampoons self promotional social media labor I will dutifully write novels for each and every blasted recipe Best though is the segment of parallel combinations between the monologue about burnout as we witness a surreal and death defying sequence of escaping horrors in order to procure ingredients The bits about thriving on moderate stress as a way to excel at work is something that hit hard and relatable and this whole little comic was sort of a dark joy of looking at the very un fun horrors of burnout through metaphoric expression I m not even entirely sure I know what just happened but I know that I love it and Bottoms Up is a little gem of a comic.
