There is something about the graphic novel format that ideally lends itself to autobiography. I don't know why that should be, but it is clearly the case. This is a work which is centered around a high school love, really a first crush and intertwined with memories of childhood in a stultifying fu...

Of course I understand its a memoir and there is no resolution in real life. Sometimes relationships just end that way, but it felt uns...
