"Processing: 100 Comics That Got Me Through It" by Tara Booth is a collection of comics that explores the author's psychological landscape with sparse text and vibrant colors. Booth, a self-proclaimed loner, delves into her struggles with relationships and the burdens of solitude versus codependence. She grapples with depression, anxiety, and anger, using coping mechanisms such as drinking and binge-eating. The vignettes depict the process of self-discovery as nonlinear and open-ended, but also humorous and beautiful. Overall, the book offers a brisk and satisfying journey through rough times.
