Described as “a sardonic look at the art world and its attendant creatives and creeps,” Walter Scott's Wendy charts the trials of its eponymous heroine, an intelligent, 20-something, art school graduate with dreams of artistic success and stardom. Throwing a spanner in the works is Wendy's tendency to be drunk most of the time, poor decision making, and even poorer taste in men. Outwardly pristine and trendy, Wendy is actually a bit of an emotional wreck, her focus constantly derailed by the temptations of punk music, drugs, alcohol, parties, and boys.
Part satire, part gleeful revel in his character's antics, Wendy is a gradually more complex look at the art world today and its expectations on artists, but also a comment on navigating the work/play quota and life itself. This collection from Koyama Press collates in print all the Wendy comics, which originally ran on Tumblr.
