Megan Kelso 's [comics] are smart, smart, smart. [Her artwork] is stately and deliberate, but also conveys a sense of urgency.

Kelso 's work radiates a warmth, poetry, sympathy, and simultaneously earthy and otherworldly essence that few comics creators have brought to the table with such quiet confidence and grace. The closest comic in recent memory to match Artichoke Tales, both in breadth and depth, is Jeff Smith 's Bone. [Grade] A.
