Jaime Hernandez’s new graphic novel Life Drawing is a generational update on the lives of his fictional punk rock duo Maggie and Hopey, from the original Locas and Love and Rockets comics series. Hernandez has created a new generation of adolescent characters as affecting and as comical as his original queer lovers. Now middle-aged, the two have separated, each now in a new relationship—Maggie lives with Ray, a painter/art teacher, and Hopey with Sadaf and her son. The book follows a new heroine, rowdy high school girl Tonta; the menagerie of comics nerds, social geeks, and athletes she calls friends; and a chaotic household worthy of L&R’s long legacy of inventive familial dysfunction. In this 10-page excerpt, Tonta, with her vivacious (and sinister) sister Vivian looking on, heads to life drawing class with her friend Judy Fair, who is set to life model for the class. Life Drawing by Jaime Hernandez is out now from Fantagraphics.
