Slow News Day

Slow News Day

Andi Watson2002
Katharine Washington arrives in England from California expecting the social whirl of London and work on a national newspaper. She's disappointed to find the Wheatstone Mercury is far away from the bright lights of the capital and has no fashion column or foreign correspondent. There is only one reporter, the curmudgeonly Owen Holmes. Whey is Katharine here, and what will she make of the important issues of the day? Slow News Day explores intercultural and interpersonal conflict via Andi Watson's signature true-to-life storytelling and beautifully disigned art.

I opened this to a random page where two people were arguing about the NHS. I thought it would be an insight into the politics of small town England. That was not what I got - just a tropey rom com where two people with terrible partners leave their partners for each other. And little differences between the UK and US are played for cheap laughs. Don’t like the framing of Owen as needing to ‘grow up’ and out of small town life. I do like how Katharine became a bit more down to earth. Clearly I’m struggling to find good quality alternative comics!
