Webcomic Book Club Summary Reviews
of Catharsis by Jennifer Boeke


"Unfortunately, the story behind Catharsis isn't that impressive. Most of the time, we see gag-a-day strips or short storylines. And when they go for a longer story, it usually fizzles not long after starting. The best stories, in my opinion, come from the short interactions where Gwen tries to understand Rremly's brain-and fails."

"There is no definitive plot, per se, and I don't think that Catharsis seriously suffers because of it. The very name of the webcomic says it all. It seems to me that this is all about expressing ideas and emotions within a person. 'Airing them out', so to speak. Don't expect for it to always make sense, because it's not really 'for' you. It's for the author, and I'm happy just to tag along in case something interesting or particularly nonsensical ambles on by."

"Don't ask me why, but I like this comic. Its cute. Its not very serious. And I find it entertaining. I guess in the end, you should read the comic for yourself, and see if you enjoy the light humor. If you don't, there are plenty of serious comics for which you could read."

"I don't have much to comment on concerning this webcomic. I left it after a short time feeling it was rather unremarkable in any manner, and there was no compulsion to read the breadth of it. Catharsis is sort of cute and soft, but isn't too interesting."
Review by Kajamir the Giant | Read Full Review | Read All Reviews of Catharsis

"Catharsis is a "newspaper funnies"-style comic strip concerning the day-to-day exploits of a 20-something woman Gwen and her pet dragon Rremly . Most of the humor seems intended to stem from Gwen's eye-rolling frustrations with the difficulties of living with a goofy hyperactive dragon who does stupid things...While there is a certain sweetness of tone that comes through in Catharsis, there's not much else to recommend it."
