Illustrated essays can of course be considered comic books, we should not consider them too narrowly, I only wish to emphasize how unique this book is as a comic. It’s a unique marriage of illustrations and text that makes the label “illustrated essays” feel most accurate as a classification. I struggled a little with putting this book under the heading of “comic book review”, (though I did do this with its predecessor) because its format is not what you’d typically expect from a comic book. Contained within is an all-new collection of illustrated essays about her childhood, the misadventures of her quirky animals, observations on life, dissection of her flaws, explorations of grief, and so much more. Solutions and Others Problems is the newest book by Allie Brosh, the long-awaited follow-up to her 2013 book Hyperbole and a Half, which was based on her blog of the same name.
