One of the things that impresses me about Pedestrian is that the panels would work even without words. The writing is always factual and understated, and obviously an indispensable component of your comics memoir, but the drawings pack a punch that is not dependent on the text.
Pedestrian Comics is a first-rate memoir/autobiography*
*I've read many essays and quotations on the difference between a memoir and an autobiography, and I still don't know the difference. It's like reading the definition of "paradox" and then realizing you still don't know what it means. Double dumbass on me!
