Curve

Lines of contour propel the graphic novels in this section.  Rounded lines can convey softness, comfort, and abundance. In these stories, they are used emphatically, to amplify the authors’ dysmorphia or the titanic importance they may ascribe to others. These curved lines expand and contract as these narratives develop, foregrounding fluctuating understandings of scantness, amplitude, and bounty along the way.
