Who loves teenage angst? Everybody, that’s who! Well, maybe everybody outside of
\nparents of teenagers, as they’re sick of dealing with it. And angsty teenagers
\nthemselves, who are convinced that their angst is the one true angst and that nobody
\nhas ever suffered as much as they have. Well, if you’re not in one of those groups,
\nyou’ll probably thoroughly enjoy this comic. This is the story of a 16 year old boy
\nwho gets talked into taking a family trip, complaining all the way. Also along on
\nthis trip are the father (who is annoyed with the boy but gets the whole teenage
\nthing), the mom (who is also annoyed and much less forgiving) and his younger sister
\n(who is trying to emulate him out of a clear desire to keep him around for as long
\nas she can). The bulk of the comic is the conversations between various members of
\nthis group, but the highlight comes from the title, as the two kids notice some
\ncrawdads in the lake and decide to catch one. They end up catching two and, because
\nof the book our hero is reading at the time, he thinks they might be delicious. So
\nthey cook them up, probably in about the most humane way that they could
\n(considering that they didn’t know what they were doing), and discover that they are
\ndelicious. But this is when the mom catches them, and instead of joining in in this
\nmoment of family bonding, things take a very different turn. There are lots of cute
\nand\/or insightful little moments in here, and there’s a good chance that this could
\neven serve as a bit of an instructional guide if you are a parent of a teenager, or
\nsomebody who will soon be a teenager. Either way, there’s a lot to like here for
\njust about anybody.<\/p>\n
