Vanessa Davis' principal character is a young woman whose Renoiresque form belies her seething inner life. . . The quotidian structure of much of SPANIEL RAGE presents the reader with glimpses of a life as it is being lived. We follow a young woman's meandering path into adulthood in this beautifully drawn, intelligent portrait of Selfcoming into its own.
- Phoebe Gloeckner, author of Diary of a Teenage Girl.
Miss Davis's comics are charming, funny and honest, with a mysterious, compelling rhythm that is all her own.
- Daniel Clowes, author of Ghost World.
Drawn in a line that is at once delicate, immediate, and genuine, Spaniel Rage captures all of the little moments that make up being alive. Vanessa Davis puts life to paper like no one else.
- Sammy Harkham, cartoonist and editor of Kramers Ergot.
I reacted to Spaniel Rage almost as if it was Vanessa's real diary: I kept picking it up, examining a few pages closely, and then putting it down with the guilty feeling that I'd invaded her privacy. It's that honest and direct, and therefore, that enjoyable.
