Thoughts
“A Sitcomic” is one of the best ways to describe Melancholy Rainbow (it’s also in the title). The comics are mostly in a vertical strip format, similar to 4 koma if you know what those are.

A lot of the strips are humorous, poking fun at herself and other people. There are common threads that run through the issues such as her obsession with Neil Young, dating woes, and coffee. The strips are fun reads, oftentimes delivering great, unexpected punchlines. I am always a fan of humor that pokes fun at the things around us, including ourselves. Melancholy Rainbow is a nice comic zine to read whenever wherever. Also, I really like the paper that was used in the printing of this!
