Tomboy a graphic memoir5/28/2023 ![]() Just re-read Tomboy today for a book club meeting I loved it again this time as much as I did the first time I read it a year ago. Prince, have you ever in your life talked to any queer tomboys/butches? I can assure you that we don't "dress like boys to attract girls"-we feel exactly the same as you. ![]() On the downside, this panel stood out as *so* alienating and frustrating (sorry for the iffy scan): But it made me so much happier than I ever thought I could be. When I figured out that formal clothes could be a men's shirt, vest, and tie, I was almost an adult. On a personal level, I'm really jealous that Prince figured out formal clothes so early on-I was just too amiable as a kid, I wore dresses if I felt like I had to. ![]() Prince starts to get at some things that other media doesn't capture about what it's like to be a tomboy (especially in terms of how you relate to other tomboys and other girls), but fails to deliver anything really thoughtful or insightful. I wanted to like this more than I really did, so I'm going to err on the 2-star side of 2.5.Īrt was solid. ![]()
