Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard, fabulous all age comic greatness

The Lunch Witch, graphic novel girl power with a witch twist

The lunch lady is one of the most mysterious people at a child’s school. Lunch lady Dora comes to mind from The Simpsons. I don’t specifically remember our lunch lady, but I suspect she was the third most feared person at the school, followed by the garbage man and the principal. The Lunch Witch takes the child’s perspective of Grunhilda, an elementary school lunch lady and imagines her as a real witch as she tries to help Madison.
