r/rights Galago Johannes Klenell johannes@galago.se www.galago.se Works Allt kommer bli bra (Galago 2013) Yolo Lisa Ewald works in the tradition of strong feminist satire that’s part of the Swedish comics’ scene. Here you’ll find absurd anagrams, snappy one panel gags and plenty of pretty cool and crazy stuff ranging from collages to site-specific art objects such as murals and the like. This is a book that gives you extra on top. If you’re fighting spirit is waning and needs a boost this is the book for you. If you’ve ever wondered what the place is for the selfie in the feminist struggle this book won’t disappoint. If you’ve ever asked yourself if you’re a Language-police [sic!] there’s a convenient test to take here to relieve you of your constant worry. And if you’re on the hunt for a real belly laugh then look no further. There are even a couple of happy childhood memories thrown in for good measure. You might as well just capitulate: yolo!
