Art Brat Comics, Vol. 1: 2015-2025

By Mollie Cronin. Published by Mollie Cronin & Little Deer Comics 

Softcover, 60 pages, 2-Colour RISO, 2025. 

Little Deer's first ever print-collaboration! Hopefully the first of many!

Inside this book you will find a selection of comics and drawings from my first ten years as a cartoonist. In the last decade my work has playfully poked at personal triumphs and terrors of living, dating, and drinking in a small city, as well as the worldly topics of diet culture, fatphobia, gender roles, and millennial slander. Many of these drawings have been shared individually on the internet and in my 2017-2020 newspaper comic strip "Art Brat Comics" (The Coast). This is the first collection of "Art Brat Comics" material, bringing together my fat positive illustrations with my bratty autobio comics, and is the first time many of these drawings have appeared in print.

Thanks to everyone who supported this scrappy and fruitful career choice, especially my friends at the Coast who gave me so much support early on. Big thanks to Matthew Melis from Little Deer Comics and the team at Way Bad Press for making this book happen.

I hope you enjoy this collection of drawings made by a fun, fat and feral Canadian.
