"...It begins with an account of Kuper’s extended efforts to lose his virginity, includes other stories detailing various unhealthy and/or highly confused relationships, and ends, perhaps appropriately, with a paean to masturbation. Other stories relate adolescent pot-smoking exploits and depict some unsettling dreams. Kuper’s pseudo-woodcut technique is more stylized than the more naturalistic approaches taken by most autobiographical comics artists, but it perfectly suits his exaggerated, mocking perspective on himself (e.g., when he timidly tries to put the moves on a succession of girlfriends, he draws himself as a scared rabbit). Nearly everybody should be able to relate to Kuper’s sagas of insecurity and rejection, so this collection should do well in libraries where adult comics have proven popular.
