This made me feel like I was high the whole time I was reading it and I supposed that means the book did its job lol.

I got this as part of a Humble Bundle comics bundle, so I wasn't sure quite what I was getting in to.
This is a delightful comic, with kind of episodic one-to-two pages snippets which sum together to a relatively lighthearted but slightly surreal look at teenagers and high school. The artwork is bright and cheerful, with cultural references shoe-horned in all over the place.
There is no explanation for a lot of what is going on in this story, it just works.

2.5/5 stars. Enjoyable read, read it in an hour while waiting at the library, but lacked a deeper storyline I felt.
Fun characters, but a little one dimensional (that being said, I would die for Jim). All it was really about was Teen Dog hanging out with his friends, which is fun, just not very attention grabbing.
Cute art and cool colours, a couple panels (like the ones with him skateboarding and showing the transition of the move) were really cool to me.
A fun idea, but I felt that sometimes the dialogue was kinda cringe ? I think this did come out in 2014 so that might account for it, but sometimes the dialogue was a little stiff to me.
I did really like the concept of it, but something didn't quite fit for me, which was disappointing. Still good, just not as good as it could have been (also I feel really bad rating it low, but also 2.5 isn't that bad tbh, but i still put it as a three on goodreads bc i want the author to do well lol, kudos for creating !!!)

One of my favorite sweet, goofy comics! Teen Dog made me LITERALLY laugh out loud (llol), and had a few moments of unexpected introspection about the high school years. Mostly it's just a really funny read with a great neon palette. Also bonus for queer representation as a happenstance-- Teen Dog is gay, but that's not part of the main storyline
