Who Will Make the Pancakes: Five Stories

"Megan Kelso’s graphic anthology thoughtfully examines American feminism in diverse social contexts. “Watergate Sue” juxtaposes Eve’s ambivalent Nixon-era pregnancy with her daughter Sue’s hopeful, self-absorbed gestation during the administration of George W. Bush. “Cats in Service” illustrates the slippery slope between sheltering homeless cats and exploiting them as domestic servants. “Korin Voss” shows how a single mother’s professional and romantic pursuits – while ahead of her time during postwar America – clash with her daughters’ need for stability. A mountain climber’s lost innocence (“The Golden Lasso”) and an avant-garde filmmaker’s wistful acceptance of flawed manhood ("The Egg Room”) round out this astute and groundbreaking collection."
