Hi there, I have an excellent recommendation for you :) If you’re looking for a hilarious, heartwarming, and downright ridiculous series, then Giant Days by John Allison and Lissa Treiman is just what the doctor ordered!

Following the lives of three university friends - Esther, Susan, and Daisy - this series is a rollercoaster of fun and hijinks. From getting lost in the wilderness to battling with bureaucracy, the girls tackle it all with a combination of wit, sarcasm, and the occasional burst of genuine emotion.

What I love about this series is the way it perfectly captures the chaos and confusion of being in your early twenties. The characters are all flawed and relatable, with their own unique quirks and struggles. Esther is the queen of drama, Susan is the voice of reason (when she’s not busy getting caught up in her own problems), and Daisy is the sweet and innocent one... until she’s not.

The writing is sharp and witty, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and some truly memorable one-liners. And the artwork is just as delightful, with bright colors and expressive character designs that bring the story to life.

But don’t let the humor fool you - this series also has plenty of heart. Whether it’s dealing with relationships, family issues, or just the general ups and downs of life, the characters always manage to come out on top (even if it’s just by the skin of their teeth).

In short, if you’re looking for a comic series that will make you laugh, cry, and feel all the feels, then Giant Days is the one for you. So grab a cup of tea (or a beer, depending on your mood), settle in, and enjoy the ride :)
