I read Fun Home for Women's Comics. It was certainly interesting, and used a limited palette of black, white, and blue. The title in particular felt very clever, as it's ironic considering the author's harsh home life, and the fact it was meant to be "funeral home" shortened, tying in with how her father both worked for a funeral home and committed suicide. I thought the way it followed the both the author and her father's struggles with their homosexuality was very touching, especially as it showed one side of her father pushing it away, and herself trying to embrace it. You can see both ends of the spectrum, and can't help but wonder what her father would have been like had he let himself be who he is.
