After reading it, yeah, that pretty well sums it up. I have no idea what was going on in the other 5 issues of this series. I suppose that&#8217;s a good thing, seeing as how I missed them, but if it was like this one every time it probably got old. &#8220;Sucks&#8221; is the Charlie Brown look-a-like who gets his locker door jammed every day, with pretty much everybody in the school either in on it or not giving a shit that this was going on. The main character, Ruggo, is dating a girl who&#8217;s slowly starting to see somebody else, but he&#8217;s still having sex with her. I should mention that this is set in high school so there&#8217;s probably no reason to expect emotional maturity in these dealings, so he&#8217;s got that part right. Anyway, the problem is that this Ruggo guy is such a prick that I didn&#8217;t really care what happened to him. His relationship isn&#8217;t going that well. So what? He still gets to have sex with the girl and with another random girl who discovers that he&#8217;s &#8220;available&#8221;. A lot of petty, silly stuff, which is just like high school. This is an interesting book, and it&#8217;s probably only me who was annoyed to be looking at Archie characters the whole time. That&#8217;s probably just the way he draws and I&#8217;ll give him a complex or something if I keep this up.
