Matt&#8217;s biggest target for ridicule, however, is himself.Wearing his neuroses and fetishes on his sleeve, he knows he is a jerk and does nothing to hide it. This humiliating honesty has made Matt a comedic genius who has been hilariously and shamelessly chronicling his pathetic existence for close to twenty years.</div></div> 638615 10 7 2007 Spent total:122|5:11|4:31|3:44|2:23|1:13| 122 370 162 24 652504 1897299117 9781897299111 122 24 Spent 3.03 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1196812120m/652504.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/652504.Spent 1 4 false Mon Nov 19 21:29:54 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 19 21:41:36 -0800 2007 more...]]> 652504 1897299117 9781897299111 122 24 Spent 3.03 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1196812120m/652504.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/652504.Spent 5 0 false Thu Jun 28 13:21:55 -0700 2007 Wed Dec 03 06:45:10 -0800 2008 more...]]> 652504 1897299117 9781897299111 122 24 Spent 3.03 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1196812120m/652504.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/652504.Spent 3 0 false Mon Oct 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 10:53:36 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 10:55:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 652504 1897299117 9781897299111 122 24 Spent 3.03 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1196812120m/652504.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/652504.Spent 1 0 false Wed Dec 17 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 14 21:05:29 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 17 20:13:11 -0800 2008

...I think Jenna should read other graphic novels, especially Daniel Clowes. This book was short, whiny, and self-indulgent. I guess (?) Joe Matt makes up for it at the end by acknowledging that it is whiny and self-indulgent, but still.
