Read in January, 1992
recommends it for:
everyone who believes in comics as literature.
One of Barry's very best comic strip collections, this one from 1992. Contains the brilliantly written longer story "The Most Obvious Question," a dark, heart-breaking tale of an attempted family reconciliation that fails. I've never forgotten it, and this is probably the book in Barry's oeuvre that I've most gone back to.

The lighter side to "Cruddy". This always takes me back to the pre-teen time in my life. Juniour high school and all the desperation and humiliation that goes along with it.
I love Lynda Barry's story-board format. I am actually looking over this work as a tool to try and figure out my own concepts for a comic strip/zine.

Lynda Barry is a genius. Marlys and Maybonne will break your heart. These books saved my life in early high school.
