Kirk Herrig’s art, which is, at times, reminiscent of the strong lines and vivid colors of Daniel Johnson and Jamie Hewlett during the 90s, or Jim Mahfood, is appropriately simple and direct. It is never overstated or over-saturated; it’s an ideal balance to Felice’s narration and the work of a natural artist.
In fact, the team of daughter and father achieve with this book what many MMA fighters also achieve every time they enter the Octagon – a team victory – as the narrative and drawing understand and complement each other perfectly.
„Lemons into Lemonade“ is one of the many good things left by 2020, through which Herrig reminds us of the important lesson of learning something from every situation. Any situation, however adverse it may be, can be used as a positive, and will eventually bring a reward.
