Little World of Liz Climo
Liz Climo. Running Press, $13.99 ISBN 978-0-76245-238-5
Climo, an animator on the Simpsons and a web cartoonist on Tumblr, is known for the quaint, twee quality of her work. Cute animals like sloths, mice, bears, and skunks, and even adorable dinosaurs, clutter Climo’s greeting-card world. This first collection gathers her webcomics and offers insight into the gentle personality behind it. But, as with other cartoon collections, Climo’s strips don’t really stand up to binge reading. She pulls off being cute and gentle with finesse, yet, even as it provides a chuckle here and there, the piling up of the cute may cause alarm among some readers. Best taken a little bit at a time. .
