Posy Simmonds draws with great detail and acuracy. In Gemma Bovery Simmonds has a blend of text, illustrations and comics. She has some of the story telling in the text and some in the illustration. Panels and balloon bubbles are used for speech and the page seems to be designed as a whole.
The drawings have a very smooth flowing feel to them and the gray scale makes it look like a newspaper comic strip.
