What's Up, Beanie?: Acutely Relatable Comics by Alina Tysoe - Book Review
We see Baby Beanie, a four-year-old who comes to the future to see if they have become an astronaut, own lots of dogs, and be a four-year-old. While 20-something Beanie remembers those years fondly (too much candy, the beret situation, becoming a “big sister” to a four-footed-furry sibling, playing spy after getting locked out of the house with their sisters, wondering about mountains). We move into teen Beanie years and finally to now where an adult Beanie might be responsible, but still rather use the only clean spoon to eat out of the cooking pot for dinner instead of washing dishes. The reader is taken on a journey of family, friends, anxiety, patience, drawing, art, mistakes, college, weirdness, love, and puppies. Lots and lots of puppies. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette
