FUN HOME IS A PERSONAL MEMOIR ABOUT LESBIAN CARTOONIST ALISON BECHDEL’S LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF HER LIFE AT THREE DIFFERENT AGES: CHILDHOOD, COLLEGE YEARS, AND MIDDLE AGE. THE STORIES TOLD EXPLORE THE DISCOVERY OF HER QUEERNESS AND THE COMPLEX RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SHE AND HER CLOSETED FATHER.

FOR THIS WORLD, I SOUGHT TO CREATE A VOYEURISTIC LOOK INTO ALISON BECHDEL’S MIND.

I DECIDED TO HONOR THE GRAPHIC NOVEL BY MAKING THE SET ITSELF THE COMIC; WHICH IS RECOGNIZED FOR ITS TIGHT BLUE TONED COLOR PALETTE AND HAND-DRAWN LINES. I ALSO GAVE A SEPERATE WORLD TO THE VOYERISTIC WRITER ALISON, TAKING INSPIRATION FROM THE REAL ALISON BECHDEL’S DESK.
