Better Days tells the story of Fisk and Lucy Black, twin boy and girl, growing up and finding themselves. The story is well drawn, has good writing and has a wonderful mixture of comedy and drama.
While I enjoyed the earlier comics better (which is purely an individual opinion), Better Days is still worth a read.

About a mother and twin boy and girl, growing up in a single parent environment. The kids are often left to their own devices, forcing them to mature more rapidly. Many elements combine to make this comic adult in content, but the author manages to wrap it neatly into a cohesive story. It literally took years to be compiled and could fit into a few graphic novels. Hours of reading.
Well written but certainly mature themes. A good Fictional Drama. Not for the squeamish or easily offended.
To start with the plus side, Better Days has been regularly updated from it's start, and is drawn to a professional standard. However, it is substantially let down by it's content matter, which amounts to macho wish fulfilment, pushing a somewhat disturbing social and political agenda, and excuses for sexual content.
One of the notable story lines in the strips history, was that of an incestuous relationship between the main brother and sister characters in the plot. This 'dramatic' and disturbing subject, as with most subject matters in the comic, was handled like soft core pornography.
Not recommended.

His comic tells the story of the Black family and follows their lives through the years. You get to see the characters grow and age, experience life, and learn from it. Jay Naylor started Better Days in 2003, and since then he has never gone on hiatus, been late, or stopped producing to take a break. He's never even used guest strips. Highly recommend.
