Review - Skim is a humorous read about teenage disillusionment with adults, the middle class and one another. The narrative is witty and entertaining with a dead-panned edge. The illustrations compliment Mariko's snarky words with their detail alternating between soft and hard lines. The minimalism of the drawings compliments the spartan words. The writing is tight and utilises equations to demonstrate Skim's thoughts with great humour (eg my parents = serious issues.)
