As normal as a necromancer and Ghost can be. Her first memory of gaming is when her dad taught her to play the first Warcraft when she was five. She is also holds a certificate in teaching English. Her background is in teaching and tutoring kids from ages 9 to 19, and she's led workshops for young women in STEM. There's just a normalcy to the relationship that I love seeing, because the relationship is normal. Keezy is a gamer, illustrator, and designer. This comic has strong queer characters without the story being expressly about that on the page. The artwork is colorful and helps tell the story really well. I think one of the things I loved about this comic was having characters closer in age to me, not teenagers but adults navigating through life. There is something beautiful about a spirit being able to find that after they've passed. They grew up drawing on their walls, stealing a few extra chapters by nightlight after bedtime, making graveyards for lost animals in the forest with their brother and sister, and adding monsters and flowers to the margins of every homework. I think all any of us want is to be really seen by someone and be loved.

I mean is there anything more dreamy than ghosts and plants? The specter of life and death woven together through a beautiful story of love and friendship. "A taproot is a large, central, and dominant root from which other roots sprout laterally." I had the pleasure of first reading this comic a couple of years ago, and gave it a 5 Star rating, revisiting it again and I'm happy to say the feeling is the same. I was delighted to see Taproot available to review.
