In Bechdels story her parents being English teachers while running a funeral parlor must have been tough on her life in a little way. Always feeling like she had to impress her parents and her family. Having to deal with the dead all the time. And with her father passing away might have been tough on her but it also helped her to realize what kind of writer or artist that she was.
In her cartoons they confused me a little bit. It was very jumbled a whole bunch of different thoughts all put together in one cartoon. Like with her father passing and how he was said to be "gay" at the funeral that confused me just a little bit. Like why would you talk bad about someone especially at there funeral. That's rude. Also when she jumps to how her father always missed out on the beauty's of life like the sunset. Then it goes back to how her brother wouldn't let off his annual fireworks because her fathers funeral was the next day.
It was really hard for me to follow her story, because the cartoon didn't really make sense to me. I felt like yes it may have been apart of her life and her story but it should have been told in a different style. From beginning to end like most stories not from end to beginning to what happened then and what happened now. Very confusing for me to focus on something that was pretty much a mixed thought to me.
Most people might have enjoyed her writing style and ethics on the whole thing but I on the other hand did not. Most cartoons are exciting, entertain hers really wasn't. It was really depressing, but very deep to tragic times that happened to her. But I think it would have been more of an exciting reading if it wasn't so dull and depressing.
