Daniel Clowes
This book is on all the lists of the greatest graphic novels of all time. I thought it was a complete waste of time. It was torture! The characters are about as obnoxious as they could possibly be and the ending wasn’t worth the 50 or so pages that came before it.
Perhaps I missed something major, or I just don’t get the point, but I don’t quite understand why it has such a following. Or maybe I’d much rather read books about aliens and zombies, than a realistic look at the boring, pathetic lives of two teenaged jerks? Maybe this kind of story no longer appeals to me. I don’t know–either way my advice is to stay away from this one.
