“…Water Baby
confuses me. I wanted more to happen here, but it feels like Ross
Campbell has told his story, and it’s done. Water
Baby is not particularly deep, but there are moments where it
could be saying more, where it could venture down certain avenues that
seem interesting. What is really up with Louisa and Brody’s
relationship? How gay is Brody? Was she just experimenting? Would Brody
ever be with Jake again? Would Lou ever be with him? I enjoy the art,
and I enjoy seeing characters who aren’t typical. Seeing a surfing
tomboy who likes to burp in people’s faces isn’t new, but seeing a
surfing tomboy with a missing leg who is neither Caucasian nor male is
a good change of pace….”

I’ll be posting a more in depth review here.
