Tara Booth's new graphic memoir, Processing: 100 Comics That Got Me Through It, is an eccentric and colorful psychological self-portrait. The pages of her comics are essentially a series of crisply designed miniature paintings, with each page carefully drawn, rich in painterly applied color, and accompanied by quirky often funny personal narratives. She uses these personal vignettes to track and comment on her wardrobe, her shifting mental states and relationships, bouts of insecurity, and a humorous, albeit emotionally painful, accounting of sexual encounters. All of this is done with dazzling visual impact and an engaging and idiosyncratic sense of humor. In this 10-page excerpt, Booth ruminates on her tendency to frequently change residences and her need to find "a place that fits." Processing: 100 Comics That Got Me Through It by Tara Booth is out now from Drawn & Quarterly.
