wow Why Don't You Love Me? really knocked me out. that is a book that i would never have even glanced at on my own based on the cover and format and publisher, thanks for the recommendation! would've made my 2023 list for sure if i had read it sooner.
funny, mean, strange, surprising, i loved it. proof that talking head comics can be great. try harder, clowes!
