Despite my best efforts, I found it challenging to immerse myself in this story. While the overall message is commendable, the journey to convey it didn't resonate with me, both in terms of storytelling and art style.

Well, well, well, what do we have here?
Clay Footed Giants was right up my street.
It is a layered, sophisticated and relatable story of being human (being traumatised in our family lives, traumatising our children, juggling work, parenthood and life, epigenetics, genetics, circumstances, regrets, reflections, acceptance, forgiveness….).
The characters and the illustrations are amazing.
I read this in one sitting because it was so gripping.
Several of the themes and some of the specific circumstances of the characters were familiar to me, and some other not. A deep meditation on life. It is at times witty. The friendships in this book are great and the family life is depicted realistically. Even without the veterans aspect, families are like this and “we all have that uncle”.
I hope to read more by this duo. I would have liked a coloured version of this graphic novel.
