All About My Mother’s Day
On the annual trip to visit mom, I fought with her, my boyfriend almost drowned, and I didn’t want to leave

Vanessa Davis' most recent book, Make Me a Woman, includes many comic strips first published in Tablet Magazine. Her first collection of diary comics, Spaniel Rage, was published in 2005.
My Mother’s Loving Silence
A Holocaust survivor, she nurtured me with silence. This Mother’s Day, I’ll mourn for her—quietly.
