EP. 59 - The Litty Review: Daytripper


Listen Later

Litty fam, we picked up Daytripper, the graphic novel that has been floating around Bookstagram, BookTok, and every “must‑read graphic novel” list for years.

In this Litty Review, we dive into Gabriel Bá & Fábio Moon’s award‑winning graphic novel with our usual mix of curiosity, chaos, and cultural commentary. We didn’t walk away sobbing on the floor, but we did walk away impressed, especially by the color palettes, the paneling choices, and the way the art carries so much emotional nuance.


Here’s what we get into:

  • What Daytripper is actually doing: the structure, the premise, and why it’s so beloved
  • How the art and color palettes shape the emotional experience
  • The themes that stood out to us as Nigerian women navigating adulthood, identity, and meaning
  • Who this book is perfect for and who might bounce off the pacing or structure


This episode is for anyone who’s been curious about Daytripper, anyone who wants to dip into graphic novels, or anyone who loves hearing two Black women unpack a book with honesty, humor, and a little bit of bookish chaos.


If you want a thoughtful, unpretentious conversation about a graphic novel that’s more about craft than shock value, tap in and get lit with us.
