Cat's Café: A Comics Collection by Matt Tarpley
My Rating: ★★★★★
At Cat’s Café, everyone is accepted as they are! In a series of adorable, funny, and occasionally serious comics, we follow a cast of characters who own, work at, or frequent the Cat’s Café. I love how positive these comics are, which bounce around adorable and funny to dealing with serious topics. How serious are we talking about? Well, the most serious we get at Cat’s Café is dealing with depression and anxiety. There isn’t anything triggering as Matt Tarpley keeps it light, but if you spot something you see in yourself in these comics, it’s very accepting and positive about it while making sure you are seen as you are.
One of the things I love about these comics is the artwork. It’s beautiful and colorful while also using colors to aid in telling a story. When he touches on tougher topics, the color story changes to help show that the character is lonely, tired, exhausted, and the list continues. The other characters are very supportive and are shown to cheer on these characters and ask things such as, how are you? How can I help? Even we the readers are asked to help! When he’s touching on light and fun topics, the panels get more and more colorful. I particularly love the goofy panels, but I also love every single page of this. It’s a truly wonderful book, and I can’t wait to read the next compilation of comics from him.
