Creator S. Eddy Bell delves into these women’s lives as they happen, only hinting at where they’ve been and where they’re going to. It’s not a tale about redemption, or escaping a prison, or anything of the sort, but a surprisingly warm, funny and compelling look at two people without much in the way of options and making the best out of what they have, mostly having each other. Bell’s dialogue is fast and sharp, full of good natured humor, and occasional dialects, but also with the proper sense of drama and urgency when needed.

Bell’s illustrations are charmingly cartoonish, giving the curious cast simplified identities but with tremendously expressive physicalities.
