Naturally, that means I love  it. Hey, you should all know by now that I&#8217;m biased towards good autobio  comics. The first story is by Rose Crowe, whose main failure is her  inability to accept praise and good things. Then there&#8217;s Antar Ellis,  with an average (I only say average because I&#8217;ve seen the concept so  many times) story about how he screwed up meeting a woman back in  school. Jerry Stanford is up next with a depressing tale about  addiction, not that there are many stories about addiction that aren&#8217;t  depressing. Greg Vondruska follows that with a story about rapidly  gaining weight, something that I can relate to after too much time in a  &#8220;comfy&#8221; relationship. Last is Drew Weing with a story about being  covered in moles (not the underground kind, the skin kind) as a child  and dealing with other kids. Lots more to all these stories, of course,  but it&#8217;s a solid enough book that people should pick it up anyway, so  why give anything away?
