The best print and web comic of 2018, selected by the Slate Book Review and the Center for Cartoon Studies:
The winner for Best Print Comic is Chlorine Gardens by Keiler Roberts, published by Koyama Press. Roberts’ autobiographical comic skitters through stories of parenting, family life, and illness with deadpan wit and narrative ingenuity.
The winner for Best Web Comic is “Being an Artist and a Mother” by Lauren Weinstein, published on newyorker.com. Weinstein’s comic takes a gimlet-eyed look at the challenge of making art about motherhood while actually being a mother.
Congratulations to both of this year’s winners and all of our nominees!
