(pb; 1993 - 1998: graphic novel)Review:
Darkly, drolly hilarious and sometimes melancholic collection of loosely connected episodic tales about two teenage girls, best friends and pranksters, who, in discovering who they are becoming, begin to drift from each other socially.
Clowes's artwork perfectly suits his geek-funny and -funky work, one of my all-time favorite graphic novels.
Worth owning, this.
