Who Will Make the Pancakes: Five Stories

Plot

A suite of five brilliant comics stories united by themes of motherhood, family, and love by the acclaimed cartoonist Megan Kelso, exploring the connective tissue that binds us together despite our individual, interior experience.

These stories, created over the past 15 years wrestle with the concept of motherhood and the way the experience informs and impacts concepts of identity, racism, class, love, and even abuse.

Taken collectively, Who Will Make the Pancakes showcases Kelso's unique voice in graphic fiction (one more in tune with writers such as Alice Munro, Sarah Waters, or Ann Patchett than most graphic novelists) and a stylistic command that tailors her approachable and warm cartooning style for each story's needs.
