You Can’t Help But Feel Estranged
Have I made it clear yet that I really like this guy? If I had any doubts after the first issue, they’re gone after this one. Yeah, the heads could be a little more consistent at times, and yeah, it can be a bit difficult to tell who is who. Both minor things, and the second thing wasn’t an issue at all in this issue. There are three stories in here, but one thing holds them all together: loneliness and uncertainty. OK, that’s two things, but you get my point. The first is about going home to visit the family and not having a place to stay. Then there’s a sudden e-mail breakup and a friend who doesn’t want him to hang around that long and you have a genuine feeling of being lost in the world. The second story is about a chaotic drunken night at a Troma party and how it’s possible to be completely alone in a crowd of people. The last story, part 2 of “You’re the one for me fatty”, details a crappy relationship and why it’s so difficult to keep going back for more, even when there are other people on the horizon who obviously care about you and would like to be with you. Fantastic book all around, I really can’t recommend this enough. Any of you publishers out there want to make this guy “famous”? I’d guess this is a dollar or two, but whatever it is, it’s worth it. Here’s a website, go and convince yourself…
