Here’s more from the A.V. Club: “Getting married is supposed to be one of the happiest events in a person’s life. But, in reality, it’s a complicated mix of emotions that can make the prospect of marriage seem more like a burden than a blessing. Cartoonist Lucy Knisley explores these turbulent emotions in her new graphic novel Something New: Tales From A Makeshift Bride, detailing her history with weddings and the anxiety she has over her upcoming nuptials.” (via the First Second tumblr page)
