Poop eating? WTH?!
I can't believe Craig Thompson made this :(

I think this was an important read to understand how much he's changed yet how much's still the same!

Just a minor collection of experiments and half-baked ideas. Includes the first appearance of Chunky Rice. Cute, some funny dialogue, but quite mean-spirited at times. For completists only.

I'm entirely too charmed by Craig Thompson's works. His art is beautiful, as are his stories (which I've found rare in works of people who do both the art and the story for a graphic novel). This one is no exception.
