‘Soppy is a collection of Philippa Rice’s striking red, black, and white comics featuring herself and partner, cartoonist Luke Pearson, as they meet, embark on a relationship and move in together. Rice originally began publishing these comics online in 2013 and in print in the form of a couple of mini-comics, to incredibly popular reception, and this volume collects all those strips and new material. It’s interesting to note the slight change in delivery in the transition from web to print in relation to the culture of each; this is presented chronologically with a more traditionally liner narrative, where online the strips were shared on Tumblr in chunks, easy to share and digest, without need for greater context. The book captures the evolution of Rice and Pearson’s relationship as they get to know one another a little, go on holiday together and decide to move in, all communicated via small everyday tasks, gestures, and interactions: assembling bookshelves, receiving their first letter addressed to the both of them, arguing over whose turn it is to make the tea, changing sleeping positions over the course of the night. From silent sequences, splash pages, to nine-grid pages, Rice charts a sweet, appealing, and warm portrayal of two people, their lives and their love.’
A really nice review by Zainab Akhtar of my SOPPY book!
