Read because it was in an Eisner category, but it’s actually insufferable. I could not care less about anything was happening and thought the art was… “not my style” (horrible).

"This book is all against pollution, prejudice, and war." so say Maybonne and Marlys from the back cover of these collected late 80s works from Ms. Lynda Barry. And it is.... kind of. It's also about life getting beautiful, and then cruddy, and then beautiful again. In the magical style of Lynda Barry, Come Over, Come Over is about adolescence, parents, school, sneaking out, sex, and the making & breaking of juvenile friendships -- all subjects weighing heavily on my mind these days! Barry addresses some major thematic issues of childhood, from birthday parties & civil wars with siblings, to sexual assault & divorce. Big Ups for Lynda Barry all around!
My first book of June! What a way to start the month!

This graphic novel is Dear Dumb Diary meets Wendy. The perspective Lynda Barry provides on growing up, friendshop, teen melancholia, and the serious real-life problems that the adults in their lives are too self-absorbed to acknowledge, is hilarious and still so tender. Gorgeous, gorgeous book!
