Creepy / by Sensenbrenner, Lee,author.(CARDINAL)858654; Roberts, Keiler,illustrator.(CARDINAL)802935;
"In this picture book for grown-ups, sibling duo Keiler Roberts and Lee Sensenbrenner render a compelling--and downright creepy--modern fable about kids who are hooked on their digital devices. Creepy is the contemporary answer to the shocking tales of the Brothers Grimm and bedtime moral stories like the boy who cried wolf or the princess and the pea: in it, Roberts and Sensenbrenner provide a shrewd and comical commentary on the increasing digitization of childhood. Known for her award-winning autobiographical comics, Roberts's signature deadpan humor is on full display in these vibrantly painted pages."--Publisher's website.

Chlorine Gardens / by Roberts, Keiler,author,artist.(CARDINAL)802935;
Dealing with pregnancy, child-rearing, art-making, mental illness, and an MS diagnosis, the parts of Chlorine Gardens' sum sound heavy, but Keiler Roberts' gift is the deft drollness in which she presents life's darker moments. She doesn't whistle past graveyards, but rather finds the punch line in the pitiful.

My begging chart / by Roberts, Keiler,AuthorIllustrator(DLC)n 2015073007;
"One of comics' preeminent humorists." -The AV Club Keiler Roberts mines the passing moments of family life to deliver an affecting and funny account of what it means to simultaneously exist as a mother, daughter, wife, and artist. Drawn in an unassuming yet charming staccato that mimics the awkward rhythm of life, no one's foibles are left unspared, most often the author's own. When Roberts considers whether or not to dust the ceiling fan, it's effectively relevant. She can get lost in the rewarding melodrama of playing Barbies with her daughter and will momentarily snap out of her depression. Her harmless fibs to get through the moment are brought up by her daughter a year or two later, yet without hesitation Roberts will request that her daughter's imaginary friend not visit when she is around. Her MS diagnosis lingers in the background, never taking center stage. In My Begging Chart, her most encompassing work yet, Keiler meditates on routine and stillness. The vignettes of her everyday life exude immense presence, making her comics thoroughly relatable and reflective of our all-too-human lives as they unfold with humour, sadness, and relieving joy. In transporting these stories onto paper, Keiler observes, and at times relishes, a fleeting present.

Preparing to bite / by Roberts, Keiler,author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)802935;
"Achingly human auto-bio comics that extract big laughs from the small moments Cartoonist Keiler Roberts quit making comics. Or did she? Preparing to Bite, her latest collection of all-new, one-page comics is a return to perfect form. Roberts skewers innocuous aspects of everyday life and dissects them for their unique absurdity: from cooking meals, to keeping doctors' appointments, to owning pets, and even navigating now-inescapable zoom calls. These vignettes portray a woman in middle-age grappling with the realities of being a mother, a wife, a friend, a daughter, and lastly (perhaps even least of all), a practicing artist--all while dealing with the long-term effects of a debilitating disease. From page to page, Roberts jumps from moment to moment, expertly using the comics form as nobody else can while showing off what it can do that no other form can. Preparing to Bite captures the transient gestures of life in the modern age, both mundane and inane."--Amazon.com.

Dying for attention : a graphic memoir of nursing home care / by MacLeod, Susan(Susan J.),author.;
"When Susan MacLeod accompanied her 90-year-old mother through a labyrinthine long-term care system, it was a nine-year journey navigating a government without a heart in a system without compassion. Her family, much like the system, erected walls rather than opening arms. She found herself involuntarily placed at the pivot point between her frail, elderly mother's need for love and companionship, the system's inability to deliver, and her brother's indifference. She had also spent three years as a government spokesperson enthusiastically defending the very system she now experienced as brutally cold. MacLeod's tone is defined by a gentle, self-effacing humour touched by exasperation for the absurdities and the newfound wisdom around expectations. Dying for Attention is the latest memoir in the graphic medicine field, shelved alongside My Begging Chart by Keiler Roberts and Tangles by Sarah Leavitt. MacLeod includes helpful tips for communicating with nursing homes, as well as background research, to provide a larger context for this under-discussed experience."--
