Truth Is Fragmentary back

"For some reason I felt like a big, inert defenceless slug while everyone bantered around me. I felt spongy and porous, like any effort to contribute to the conversation would collapse in on itself, with no shell to brace myself on."

Of Gabrielle's THE VOYEURS I commented "Collection of mostly new material from one of comics' self-professed mildly neurotic and slightly depressed creators. Not quite up there in the excruciating 'I'd probably rather not have known that but I'm glad you told me' honesty stakes of say, Joe SPENT Matt, this is still a very amusing and simultaneously enervating look into the mind of a comics creator. Gabrielle perfectly captures the gently tortured soul of the OCD-afflicted procrastinator, we're just fortunate that keeping a journal is one of her obsessions!"

Well, nothing much has changed, which is great for us readers who enjoy dissecting said tortured souls of autobiographical comics creators. This time around, however, instead of the North American comics convention circuit (and for more of that anguished existence you really must check out Dustin Harbin's DIARY COMICS) we get treated to Gabrielle's overseas visits to various international conventions and festivals whilst anxiously taking in France, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway and indeed even Columbia. Well, anxious at least for her, I found it hilarious to read.

'Miss Bell's travel companion, Mr. Restrapo, did not see the erratic flight as cause for alarm.'

"I was thinking that if the plane crashed I wouldn't have to finish my graphic novel."
"Why are you so tragic?"

The tragi-comedy of Gabrielle Bell. Read it and weep... tears of mirth.
