They all wear the same outfit, they&#8217;re only differentiated by tiny things, and they all wear body suits that hide any trace of sexuality. Still, by the end of this, I had no trouble at all telling almost everybody in here apart. In my mind, and this might be saying too much for Allison&#8217;s first graphic novel, but that&#8217;s the mark of a master storyteller. This book is about a summer for Allison and her friends, and all the problems with boyfriends\/girlfriends, jobs and the rest of the world. If it sounds like the kind of thing that you&#8217;ve already seen a hundred times, I&#8217;m just telling it wrong. It&#8217;s a complicated story that&#8217;s told in a simple way. How she has characters with no faces have incredibly expressive facial expressions is beyond me, but she pulls it off. Check it out, it&#8217;s good stuff. $11.95<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/neverending3.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"685\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Never Ending Summer I know I commented on Allison&#8217;s characters in the last review, but I should really show everybody something before I start rambling: Those are all the characters in this story.
