“Memoirs of a North West London Nanny”
Posted by Greg under: Uncategorized .
Lovers of good comics would do well to pick up a copy of Going Down Swinging no. 26. There’s an absolutely fantastic six-page strip by Mirranda Burton called “Memoirs of a North West London Nanny”. It’s a presumably autobiographical piece, but in the genre- and form-bending vein of Gabrielle Bell or David B. I’ve seen nothing quite like it in the Australian comics scene (except for Mirranda’s previous strip in Going Down Swinging #24), and hope to see quite a lot more in future.
That previous strip, “Exquisite Corks” is online at Mirranda’s website. It’s a rawer work than “Memoirs…”, but still an excellent comic.
