On beanbag chairs and shag rugs . in nudist camps and custom vans . it was family life in the decade of decadence! ³I was Seven in 75² is an album of the Œ70s come to life in all its shag-rug glory. The comic is hilarious week to week, but this collection reveals the remarkable and subtle changes in Ellen, Matt, Mom and Dad over time that give this comic strip more grace, empathetic power, and narrative scope than most contemporary novels. Ellen Forney¹s witty documentation of the Me Decade, and charmed nostalgia, stands in relief to typical Gen-X angst-drenched memoirs. Sweet, funny and refreshing.
