Reviews
"All of Doucet's panels charm with their clutter and with her self-portrait as a sartorially challenged, scraggly haired waif (literally wide-eyed) who's not as weak as she first seems... Spunky and smart, Doucet is the true voice of grrrrl power." - Kirkus Reviews; "Much like her life, her black-and-white drawings are complex, detailed and cluttered, and transform the hard knocks and bad decisions of a somewhat innocent underground cartoonist into wonderfully charming tales of urban survival." - Publishers Weekly; "Doucet has sweetness and daring, and a self-destructive melancholy no male cartoonist has come close to capturing" - The Village Voice"
