In the pages of Ms. Understood, Juliette Collet leverages the symbolic weight of the pornographic film industry – which at least has the potential to be taken for a synecdoche for contemporary America – to highlight and forefront the impact of the inscription of gender roles in contemporary Western society, particularly those ascribed to (young) women. 
 
The colorful comics that fill the pages of Ms. Understood work together to portray a dual displacement of sex and work, with each becoming the other and neither existing independently, in a manner that strives not to be mis(s)understood.  
Ms. Collet can be counted among the most productive young, independent comics makers in America, and this 96 page full color work amply demonstrates both her drive and abilities.         Check out a few choice spreads from this book – along with some from its Neoglyphic co-release, Bridget Troutt's Sex Work / Working Dogs – HERE.
