  <default_description>From the critically-acclaimed cartoonist behind Box Office Poison and Tricked comes the delightful &quot;Too Cool to be Forgotten&quot;, a story of second chances. Andy Wicks is a forty-something father of two who's making one final attempt to quit smoking: hypnosis. He's skeptical it will work, but is stunned to find that when he emerges from his trance, he's fifteen years old - and it's 1985! Is he doomed to relive the worst four years of his life or will this second go-round finally give him the answers he's been missing all his life? If nothing else he'll finally get to ask out Marie Simone from history class...</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Wow.  This little book is entertaining and, ultimately, profoundly moving.  40-year-old Andy goes to the hypnotist to get help in quitting smoking, but instead, he finds himself reliving 10th grade, with all the knowledge his maturity has brought.  I think this might be a different book for teen rea...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39151606">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the poignant story story of a middle age man (only one year older than I am!) who undergoes hypnosis to quit smoking. Somehow the hypnosis sends him back to high school! He tries to be nicer to his mom and sister and the kids at school less popular than he is.

    <body><![CDATA[This is the first Alex Robinson comic I have read and I've heard that it's one of his best.  Although I have nothing to compare it to, I do have to say that this comic was pretty badass.  Overall it made me laugh, cry, and super jealous of his amazingly innovative artwork.. oh and there's time trave...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66499623">more...</a>]]></body>

He goes on a fantastic ride back to high school, trying to figure out what he's doing there, wondering whether what he does will change the future, and wishing he could snap out of it.

    <body><![CDATA[&quot;Box Office Poison&quot; was Robinsons' great comic work, on par with anything Chris Ware or Alan Moore ever did.  &quot;Too Cool&quot; was a very enjoyable read and better than most comics I come across. However, I still can't help but unfairly compare it to &quot;Box Office Poison,&quot; whic...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38771167">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really like Alex Robinson for Box Office Poison and Tricked.  Got to meet him at the Con two years ago and he was a very funny guy, so I liked him even more.  Too Cool is much shorter than previous works and he even took on writing about teenage life.  Basically a middle aged guy wants to stop smo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29143790">more...</a>]]></body>
