review:
'When Are You Going to Get a Proper Job?: Parenting and the Creative Muse' with words and art by Richy K. Chandler is a graphic novel about the challenges of having a creative muse and limited time to do anything with it.

Tariq is a stay at home dad. His wife holds down a good job and Tariq loves his daughter. Tariq is also trying to get his career as an artist going, but with the demands of parenting, he has little time to be creative. This book is his character working that out with other people and himself.

It's an interesting inner monologue between this character and his creative muse. At no point does he consider letting parenting take a back seat, and I applaud that. He does find some creative solutions. The art wasn't my favorite, but it worked for the story.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Singing Dragon, Jessica Kingsley Publishers, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
