Brilliant and uncomfortably honest. The author takes a rusted shovel to his own insecurities and neuroses, turfing up the fragile veneer of the human condition to expose what we hate most about ourselves, with the brutal efficiency that only his childlike doodles can fully reveal without the taint of intellectual process.

This is not Bunny Suicides or Cyanide & Happiness, it is not schadenfreude. This is Sylvia Plath in doodles.

Brutal. Brilliant.

Picked this up at ALA midwinter last year on the Harper booth girl's rec. Is a quick, flippable book. Laughed out loud a few times, but didn't really hold my interest much.

My favorite bit:
There is a place that I once knew
cold and frightening and bitterly blue
if you should find yourself there too
I'll hold your hand and walk with you

A decent-sized book full of words and images that have meaning to anyone who's feeling down. A few funny, several slightly depressing, and all worth looking through for anyone trying to find some meaning in life.
This book can be read in one sitting, and I'm sure you'll find a few pages that will make you think.
