Life With Mary 18
75" x 24.25"
A hilarious and satirical look at the mother-daughter relationship. We see an adult daughter recounting her relationship with her mother, which is framed by an adult daughter's exasperated commentary. The daughter is annoyed by her mother's requests, the mother's reluctance to be seen as a "good mother," and the father's willingness to placate his wife. The daughter's commentary, in a combination of text and illustrations, shows her own childhood frustrations and her attempts to appease her mother. She's frustrated by her mother's propensity to nag and intrude on her life, and she's embarrassed by her mother's occasional embarrassing behavior. The daughter spends much of her time working hard to please her mother, but she eventually realizes that she has to draw boundaries. The daughter eventually stands up to her mother and finds her own voice.
