David Boring’s life has changed in the big city – he’s gotten lucky with girls, he’s far away from friends that know every embarrassing detail of his past and his roommate, Dot, also appreciates his scrapbook of large-bottomed girls. This all works well until Whitey shows up and is murdered.

Much less a murder mystery and more of a dry dark comedy, the story follows David’s obsession that leads to the perfect woman, getting shot in the face and even conspiracies to poison the world. Buried within in this is the story-within-a-story of The Yellow Streak, a puzzle that may lead to understanding David’s father (two panels at a time).

Clowe’s story is filled with compelling characters and an equally compelling storyline

Ugh! Reading this book made me feel dirty. If it wasn’t for the 2nd act I would have given up on this book.
NOT FOR Children under age 18! Nudity, Swears, Violence, and the worst part of the book: Confusion!
I like Clowes, alot. His art is great, and this book is not different. If you really want a better view of his work, I reccomend ” Ice Haven” which is a psuedo- murder mystery and while still racy, it’s like comparing The Usual Suspects to Reservior Dogs.
NOT WORTH CONSUMING!
