Summary
This critique of the art world will have you crying with laughter
In Wendy’s Revenge， Scott’s titular heroine returns with a fresh set of awkward misadventures and messy nights out。 When the book opens， aspiring artist Wendy has decided to move to the west coast to clear her head。
She plans on getting some quality time with her collaborator and friend Winona， only to find Winona packing up to leave， having decided to move back in with her mom on the rez。 All alone， Wendy endeavours to foster community in Vancouver’s bleak art scene。 When her hope and optimism are all used up， she packs her bags for an artist residency in Japan。 Wendy then gallery hops and parties around the globe until she stumbles upon the opportunity to unite with former foe Paloma。 Together they enact revenge on VVURST， the German publication that once tore her performance art to shreds。
Young artists struggle with mental health issues， they get wasted and hook up with men with gross piercings， and they’re afflicted with an insatiable longing for a stable identity—stability they themselves undermine。 Scott’s deceptively simple， inky character drawings evoke millennial culture with such Jungian accuracy that you can’t help but stare and giggle in equal measure。 Praised by The New Yorker， Guardian， Globe and Mail， and with an appearance in the Best American Comics anthology， it’s clear why Walter Scott’s Wendy comics have taken critics by storm。

Wendy makes me feel like a better person。Better than Wendy at least。 This is a fun， satirical look into the art world that will have you laughing at （and judging） Wendy and her friends。 I first found Wendy on a trip to Toronto。 I'm so glad to see that her adventures have continued and I can emotionally capture a little bit of that vacation again。 The art is simple and rough at times， but some of the choices Scott makes are kinda genius。 Like how Wendy's eyes change depending on the situation。 Or Wendy makes me feel like a better person。Better than Wendy at least。 This is a fun， satirical look into the art world that will have you laughing at （and judging） Wendy and her friends。 I first found Wendy on a trip to Toronto。 I'm so glad to see that her adventures have continued and I can emotionally capture a little bit of that vacation again。 The art is simple and rough at times， but some of the choices Scott makes are kinda genius。 Like how Wendy's eyes change depending on the situation。 Or how the change in story structure introduces little asides that somehow also contribute to a larger whole。 Well done all around！Wendy's procrastination is our procrastination。 But her self-loathing is her own。 。。。more

Not as good as Wendy Master of Art。 But I lol’d pretty hard at the cutaway titled USELESS URBAN PERSON。 That was great。

Funny irreverent commentary on artists and Vancouver。 A quick and enjoyable read。

At a book club I lead， where we were reading the third and most recent Wendy book （Wendy， Master of Art）， one of the attendees mused that there is a little Wendy in all of us。 As an only recently sober， often-dysfunctional， self-important multidisciplinary artist， in my twenties， who lives in an art loft in Montreal， I can't help but feel there is slightly more Wendy in me than the average person。 This was reinforced when， as the character of Screamo was introduced， I chuckled to myself about ho At a book club I lead， where we were reading the third and most recent Wendy book （Wendy， Master of Art）， one of the attendees mused that there is a little Wendy in all of us。 As an only recently sober， often-dysfunctional， self-important multidisciplinary artist， in my twenties， who lives in an art loft in Montreal， I can't help but feel there is slightly more Wendy in me than the average person。 This was reinforced when， as the character of Screamo was introduced， I chuckled to myself about how much he reminded me of one of my closest friends。 Moments later， having seen a post about my reading and enjoying that book on instagram， that same friend messaged me:you know that Screamo is based on me， right？。。。 and still， the reads kept coming。 My friend with a psychology degree mused to me once that people with low self-esteem will consider negative feedback as inherently more honest and worth hearing than positive feedback。 Wendy is not a straight-through sympathetic character: she is self-indulgent and usually has a black hole where her discipline should be。 She's smart， but also cares too much about being smart， and more so about being perceived as smart。 In Wendy's Revenge we see the first real adult moves of her art career being made: Machiavellian politics， grade-school social hierarchies， wacky hijinks， and all。 She is foolish and silly， but also brave and honest and vulnerable。 I'm so completely in love。 I feel like I have been seen in the same way I do when a friend tells an extremely relatable， often embarrassing， ultimately heroic tale （preferably over a pack of cigarettes on some fire escape， somewhere）。 I feel seen like when I read a rude， true astrology take， and even though I'm too grounded to believe in astrology （typical Taurus！）， I still examine my behaviour。 I want more。 I want more， forever。 。。。more

This is wacky！ I really liked the parts in Japan where Wendy's comics are subtitled in English on the lefthand side - I don't know if that was because they were actually published in Japanese and this was a way to amend them easily or if that is just a creative touch。 This is wacky！ I really liked the parts in Japan where Wendy's comics are subtitled in English on the lefthand side - I don't know if that was because they were actually published in Japanese and this was a way to amend them easily or if that is just a creative touch。 。。。more

More ups and downs in the life of the art scene’s hottest mess， Wendy。 In this collection， she experiences a psychological breakdown （delivered in a cryptic Kathy Acker-esque monologue）， travels to Japan， and teams up with her old enemy to take down some art industry creeps。 This collection also feature more Winona （yay！）， a mixed-media artist who struggles to have her art career take off after returning home to the rez。 This collection wasn’t quite as laugh-out-loud funny as the first， but it w More ups and downs in the life of the art scene’s hottest mess， Wendy。 In this collection， she experiences a psychological breakdown （delivered in a cryptic Kathy Acker-esque monologue）， travels to Japan， and teams up with her old enemy to take down some art industry creeps。 This collection also feature more Winona （yay！）， a mixed-media artist who struggles to have her art career take off after returning home to the rez。 This collection wasn’t quite as laugh-out-loud funny as the first， but it was still a treat to return back to this cast of characters。 。。。more

I so loved the first book in the series and am shocked that this one dropped off so much for me。 This volume lacked the subtle illustration shifts to convey emotion。 The existential story about the missing art work was not honed in enough for me。 The section in Japanese with the translation on a black page felt like a lot of work for no pay off。 The worst offense this book made was using a Scremo vinaigrette that was almost panel for panel identical to one from the first volume。 You remember？ Th I so loved the first book in the series and am shocked that this one dropped off so much for me。 This volume lacked the subtle illustration shifts to convey emotion。 The existential story about the missing art work was not honed in enough for me。 The section in Japanese with the translation on a black page felt like a lot of work for no pay off。 The worst offense this book made was using a Scremo vinaigrette that was almost panel for panel identical to one from the first volume。 You remember？ The one where he want to have sex with a co-worker who ends up bringing a girl over to hang out so he leave and settles for his blonde curly haired friend？ The characters and most of the situation are identical in both volumes。 Lame！ 。。。more

Both of the Wendy books didn't do much for me in the first third but then they start really charming me by the second half hence my ratings that are always in the middle。 I think Scott is a really good cartoonist and I love his expressiveness。 I loved the visual choice for the translated pages， though after about 10 pages it gets kinda exhausting， but I guess it's the point。 Both of the Wendy books didn't do much for me in the first third but then they start really charming me by the second half hence my ratings that are always in the middle。 I think Scott is a really good cartoonist and I love his expressiveness。 I loved the visual choice for the translated pages， though after about 10 pages it gets kinda exhausting， but I guess it's the point。 。。。more

Hilarious look at a half outsider， half hipster artist that is just clearly misunderstood by her peers。 An acute look at the art world and millennials trying to navigate their way around it and life in general。 Scott's art was original， and I loved how he set-up the reads for the Tokyo section。 Super cool read。 Hilarious look at a half outsider， half hipster artist that is just clearly misunderstood by her peers。 An acute look at the art world and millennials trying to navigate their way around it and life in general。 Scott's art was original， and I loved how he set-up the reads for the Tokyo section。 Super cool read。 。。。more

THESE BOOKS ARE SO GOOD。 I WANT A MILLION MORE OF THEM。 I was honestly worried the sequel wasn't going to be as good as the first but IT IS BETTER。 Scott goes in even deeper on Wendy-- she grows up a lot， becomes much more self-aware， shrugs off the bullshit of her （increasing amount of） past lives。 It is such a blast to watch this character evolve。 She is so real， very often uncomfortably so。 THESE BOOKS ARE SO GOOD。 I WANT A MILLION MORE OF THEM。 I was honestly worried the sequel wasn't going to be as good as the first but IT IS BETTER。 Scott goes in even deeper on Wendy-- she grows up a lot， becomes much more self-aware， shrugs off the bullshit of her （increasing amount of） past lives。 It is such a blast to watch this character evolve。 She is so real， very often uncomfortably so。 。。。more

I love this book so much！ I regularly encounter people like those depicted in this book and it's hilariously cathartic to realize I'm not the only one to find such insanity （and humour） in the arts world。 I love this book so much！ I regularly encounter people like those depicted in this book and it's hilariously cathartic to realize I'm not the only one to find such insanity （and humour） in the arts world。 。。。more

I will continue to read this series as long as it is around， but my identification with this character isn't quite enough for it to be more than 3 stars。 In this case， I appreciate that Walter Scott added a another layer with the text within a text and identity changes， but I think it was a bit too ambitious。 But on a positive note， I was glad for less Screamo。 This one is all Wendy， thankfully！ I will continue to read this series as long as it is around， but my identification with this character isn't quite enough for it to be more than 3 stars。 In this case， I appreciate that Walter Scott added a another layer with the text within a text and identity changes， but I think it was a bit too ambitious。 But on a positive note， I was glad for less Screamo。 This one is all Wendy， thankfully！ 。。。more
