A User's Guide to Neglectful Parenting

Guy Delisle turns his keen observational eye inward with this single-issue comic from Drawn & Quarterly, a wry and self-deprecating look at the everyday absurdities of parenting. Through a series of candid vignettes, Delisle (with translator Helge Dascher) captures the small moments of distraction, guilt, and accidental neglect that define the job, all rendered in his signature deadpan cartooning style. It’s a sharp, funny, and quietly honest meditation on the gap between parental ideals and reality.
