At first glance, ‘Scenes from an Impending Marriage’ by Adrian Tomine could be dismissed as a nauseating, self-indulgent project that only someone as successful as he is could convince others to buy. But although much of this teenie book comes straight from Tomine’s wedding favours, it isn’t like that at all. It does exactly what it says on the tin- it’s a series of short comic scenes of Tomine and his fiancée planning their wedding, but it’s been done in a way that is very funny and cute. Aw.
