"I've always known exactly what I want from life. Even when I was a kid. To do whatever I fucking want. So that's what I do!"
A quick, sketchy black and white comic about two jerks who destroy other people's property and (almost) lives. The POV changes a couple times (I first assumed the guy on stage was the main character, only for him to disappear on page 3), and the real protagonist, Sophie, is introduced halfway through as someone quiet and diligent - the exact opposite of the boys we started the book with. There's a scare towards the end that ties the two stories together a little more. I would have liked more content - this feels more like a short story, or a chapter of something else. I think it would be really cool if the author kept going - kept telling stories of physical or emotional collisions between strangers and continuing the story that way.
