Francesca Cassavetti is a cartoonist who has been working on comics and illustrations for decades.

My first impressions of this are that the very light paper used in the printing shows through the other side. However, its an A6, and so with cut sheets I would have expected some ruffles aound the edges, not the tidy collation job I see here.

Seeing through the see-through, Francesca's distraction is the relationship with her son and the academic/social debate, physical expressions rendered through considering. She makes it look very simple, though not so that she doesn't examine the political aspects of the booklet. Having recently finished a degree course I was drawn to this, not just its Babylon 5-esque title. Francesca takes on that annoying voice in my head, prompting me to crack on, yet also realising the need for self-care and play in proper place. This is a wee booklet any offspring can relate to. Its best suited though to the parent's market. Its a sadness we don't have good distribution channels delivering empathic comics for parents to parents in this country. I bought my copy, and I'm going to pass it on to one. You could do that.
