The other side could be greener, but perhaps not as well. So then, when you’re out and about and living your life, if a similar situation arises, maybe you’d be more inclined to take a diverging path. I call it a reflective situation of “ lol shit, that’s so me” and then you wonder the times YOU do things as mentioned in the comic. There is surely character development in this book (as it reflects our own selves for self-imposed guilty-tripping growth) but it’s very subtle. Simplicity is usually best for comic humor especially true when it’s grounded in real life shit. Uh…things felt…realistic (?) All I can say is that most/all comics had enough substance to get the message across in drawing. But, for me, it delivered what I was asking of it: kill time and be highly re-readable. I don’t think anyone could come into this sequential art comic with the hopes of it being life changing.

While I am a fan of the comics I see from time to time in passing, the theme of the comics in this story was definitely one I could both relate to but could see why my female friends could appreciate the “girl problems” aspects of the story more. It chronicles the pockets of time that just happen through any given day - and as we walk through life - and pokes fun at it with a stick, and with candor and honesty. This is a story for the awkward in all of us.

In other words, the horrors and awkwardnesses of young modern life. These comics document the wasting of entire beautiful weekends on the internet, the unbearable agony of holding hands on the street with a gorgeous guy, dreaming all day of getting home and back into pajamas, and wondering when, exactly, this adulthood thing begins.
