Motherlover
Motherlover | Iron Circus Comics, Lindsay Ishihiro
1 post | 1 read
Imogen has an exciting new neighbor! Alex just moved from the big city back into her late parents' house, and she seems to have it all: She's a cool single mom with a thriving career, a fun look, and a cosmopolitan life of adventure. Imogen certainly has dreams of a more carefree life, but being a stay-at-home mom of four is a more-than-full-time job--one that doesn't pay very well--and that's all she can handle. How does Alex do it? She's captured Imogen's imagination. But what we see on the surface isn't always the whole story. Alex's return has given her a lot to ponder. Her parents are gone, and she's just starting to realize her privileged childhood wasn't as happy as it seemed. Now she's adrift, learning how to relate after a lifetime of pushing everyone away. Chance brought these two fast friends together . . . and everything that happens next is unlike anything they could have planned!

I stumbled upon this comic by accident & it was free to read on the author's website so I read it in a day 🙃
Really cute story about two single moms who learn to lean on each other & eventually embrace their connection. Imogen is a mother of four who finds the courage to leave her toxic relationship & figure out who she is outside of parenthood. Alex is a lesbian who chose to do motherhood alone but is now struggling with ⬇️

peanutnine ...how her strained relationship with her parents affected her ability to let anyone close.
Really lovely art and powerful emotional arc - plus some great discussions about different queer expressions
