“Smiley describes [A Map in the Dirt] as a “short story in comics form” and it is easy to see why. Rather than adopting the traditional panel and speech-bubble form entirely, A Map in the Dirt begins with pictures simply acting as loose illustration for Deer’s narration. Although the story eventually adopts a more traditional comic form, this opening section evokes comparisons to a lovingly-constructed children’s book from decades ago. I couldn’t help but think of dusty second hand 1970s picture-books whilst reading it; such is its charm.” -Martin Steenton, Avoid the Future
