If you like the "funny pages" you most likely know FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE,Lynn Johnson's for want of a better word,graphic roman a clef. Originally titled The Johnsons,she drew on what she knew best figuratively and literally. She couldn't consistently reproduce anything but her family in three boxes!It was funny,witty and moving.
