I’d seen this book around forever but had never actually read it. It was better than I expected and quite funny – electric blankets indeed.

The art is simple but has a personal style to it that elevates it about the basic cartoonishness it gives of at first glance. The way she uses the watercolors for texture is a lot of that, I think. The unevenness of the color gives it a more adult feeling than an even wash would. There’s also some really interesting shadow details.

Good book, worthy of several rereadings.
