What a great memoir!

Calling Dr Laura is the raw and honest memoir of graphic artist Nicole J. Georges from her childhood to this day and her life in Portland Oregon. The novel focuses on her search for her natural father, her coming out of the closet as a queer, and the process of finding who she is as person. The book has a good deal of her childhood memories and family related issues, which are not adorned or sweetened, but presented in a very naive straight forward way. She could have demonized her mother for the whole story related to her natural father, but she does not so; she does not hide anything bad about her life, experiences or people she comes across, but she does not judge them and focus more on how she felt or feels. How difficult to do and how well done! The narrative alternates the present with episodes of her childhood. The parts about her childhood are really wonderful but also a bit sad.

The reading is very engaging. That is so because the book is well paced regarding the subjects presented and how they are presented, the U-turns that the author makes but still coming back to the main road, so to speak. The story is never bland or boring. Although the mystery in the novel is resolved in the epilogue, it lingers throughout the book without being overpowering.

I truly liked Georges' style and versatility. She uses different graphic languages and fonts to convey meaning and create atmosphere. Although most of the book is set in interiors, I loved her drawings of road and urban landscapes. The drawings of her childhood episodes, which are very simple and child-like, are just adorable, and very different from the more elaborate and arty drawing for the narration of Nicole's present. I think this is one of those books that would have been great having it in full colour, as the book cover's image is.

My favourite scenes are her story of her intestinal problems when she was a kid, the one of the boat when Radar dumps Nickie, and Nickie's fight with her mother in the car about she being a selfish brat. I also love the dog's language balloons she adds when she communicates with her dogs or they don't know what is happening - very cute.

I want to buy this for everyone I know! Thank you, Nicole,​ for your courage in writing this memoir, you are so awesome!
I loved this book. Laughed and cried. I hope to read more of this brilliant writer and artist's material in the future. A sequel would be divine!
A powerful personal narrative with amazing artwork. I cannot say enough good things about this graphic novel.
I am so glad I came across this story! It's a well-told tale with lovely illustrations and engrossing story telling. I'm looking forward to Georges' next book!
incredibly awesome!! i cried at the end. which i have never done before while reading comics/graphic novels. highly recommended for intelligent, quirky people. LOVE!!!
Another awesome graphic memoir! Nicole does a wonderful job of balancing the dramatic moments of her life with humor. I felt the "plot" moved along smoothly and I was genuinely hooked into the "father" element of the story. Also, her drawings alone make this a 5 star purchase. The author has a podcast I've started listening to since reading this and she's very entertaining on that as well.
What a great memoir!
