Spaniel Rage

Vanessa Davis’s Spaniel Rage is a single-issue comic from Buenaventura Press, begun in 2005, that offers a warm, painted glimpse into the artist’s everyday life. A standout in the autobiographical comics tradition, it captures the small, candid moments of young adulthood with a light, observational touch. Its significance lies in Davis’s distinctive watercolor style and her ability to find humor and tenderness in the mundane, marking an early milestone in her career.
