at the begining i was uncomfortable with the format. no word baloons, all the words are below the illustrations. i was thinking, where are my word baloons. but you get over it, and it actually works. the drawings are simple yet expressive. the story if full of clever dialogue. hell, the story itself is kind of clever in an Annie Hall kind of way. you know, new york/california, etc. etc. yeah, now that i think of it, it’s kinda like a woodie allen meets female harvey pekar sort of thing. but don’t trust me on this one.
