Glass Half Empty

The highly-anticipated third installment of Rachael Smith's award-winning auto-bio comics 'Rachael Smith's trademark bittersweet, funny and very personal comics make for the perfect chronicle of the weird times we've been living through. They are funny and sad and relatable and wise.' Chris Addison, comedian and director of Veep 'It's no wonder people respond strongly to Rachael's work. Brave is a term people like to bandy around about personal comics, but it's appropriate sometimes. The real wonder of her work is the easy comic touch.' Kate Beaton, author of Hark! A Vagrant Coming out the other side of a breakup and finding her feet in her new single life, in Glass Half Empty Rachael Smith turns her attention to her 'Daddy issues' and ensuing problematic relationship with alcohol. From the award-winning author of Quarantine Comix, Wired Up Wrong and Stand in Your Power, this is another extremely honest auto-bio comic shining a light on the reality of mental health. Rufus the cat (recent star of a New York Times cartoon) and Barky, the giant black dog inside her head, are returning characters fans of Rachael Smith will be heartened to be reunited with.
