Explore the highs and lows of modern life through the sharp, dark wit of Ruby Elliot, creator of the massively popular Tumblr account, Rubyetc. Ruby's simple drawings of not-so-simple issues capture the humor and melancholy of everyday life. Her comics appeal to those who are just beginning to explore these subjects, as well as battle-tested veterans of the daily struggles of life with mental illness.

A personal yet very accessible take on depression, bipolar and eating disorders, and other topics we usually don't want to talk about due to the shame and stigmas associated with them. These cartoons seem to be the perfect medium to provide digestible sized looks on life with mental illness
Although it's mostly a “picture-y” book, I think the strongest parts were the essays. I think it's because I don't care for the art style at all, and apart from a very select few pages I found them distracting. I mean I can appreciate the message, but not the form. Which is perfectly okay, by the way. Not everything has to be black or white.
