Reviews
Rather than attempt some sort of overall, heavily detailed account of her dark days, she opts instead to focus on individual moments, giving the comic a poetic, impressionistic lilt I appreciated. Yeah, it's a sad comic, but it's far from a depressing read. - Chris Mautner, Comic Book Resources <br> Sunday in the Park with Boys is one of the winners of the inaugural, 2013 MoCCA (The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art) Awards of Excellence as chosen by by judges Karen Berger, Gary Groth, Nora Krug, David Mazzucchelli, and Paul Pope. <br> This book is a great find for anyone that has dealt with some of the issues addressed in this book, and even those who haven't. The quiet resignation throughout most of the story lends itself to being a very real account of how these dark emotions manifested themselves for the author. Nothing is contrived or trite, just an honest portrayal of a real girl with real feelings. - Lindsey Morris, Girls Gone Geek <br> This is a harrowing, unsparing account of one young woman's experience with anxiety, depression and sheer existential terror [...] The book ends on a hopeful note that is as much self-suggestion as it is an honest conclusion for this stunning piece of someone trying to get better in public through art. - Rob Clough, High-Low <br> Sunday in the Park with Boys conveys feelings that are hard to pinpoint when you're under deep depression, but it never feels like it's forcing you into pitying the author in any way. I believe Mai just wants you to understand. - Kevin Cortez, Drawn Words <br> It's [ Sunday in the Park with Boys ] by no means an easy read, often harrowing, but Mai is a strong cartoonist, pinpointing the way in which her demon has taken over her: the dread of these episodes, the waiting, the compliance, and the quiet, desperate, frustration of the situation. - Zainab Akhtar, Forbidden Planet International Blog <br> Sunday in the Park with Boys is about what depression feels like f
