I sadly do not remember the much about the 80s. Oh, do I want to. Hair spray and leggings and blue eyeshadow and entertaining stupid movies and coke and crack and home computers and the president is a washed up movie star fighting like totally evil soviet russia oh it's so camp.

I was not impressed with this book at all. I read this book because it fit the criteria for my book challenge. #18 a comic that isn’t published by Marvel, DC, or image.

This comic, supposedly based on a real diary found in a gas station bathroom, is about the life of teenage reject Tammy Pierce and it's pretty brutal. It's reminiscent of a 1980's version of Lynda Barry's Maybonne but with less of the sweet, life-affirming parts. Everyone, everyone is awful to cheesy, overweight, sometime juvenile delinquent Tammy except for one dude who is both inarguably the handsomest boy in school and probably the only truly decent person Tammy knows and of course Tammy is in love with him but he's just being nice. Which is almost worse in a way than the other boy Tammy thinks likes her who openly treats her like crap. Oh, I almost forgot that there's the Narc who may actually like Tammy but she she treats him like crap. In other words, it's a pretty realistic portrayal of high school romance. I am going to read the next two in the series because I feel like things have to pick up for poor Tammy at some point, right?

at first it appealed to my weak spot for 80's tack, yet after a while the humor was exhausted. too much of it hinged on "hurr hurr, the protagonist's FAT and HAIRY and UGLY! hurr hurr!" being the punchline of every entry. blech.
