Oh Scott, you lovable slacker! Despite being a, unemployed, basement dwelling, part time musician with no visible means of support cool skater chicks and cute high school girls want to throw themselves into the bed you share with your gay roommate.

I like the series, but it is based in a sort of slacker myth that i have never understood. Scott seemingly lives a pretty good life. He doesn't work, spends his time doing things he likes, music, socializing, games, ect; and still has a string of attractive girlfriends. My younger brother could be said to live in a similar way, so I know its possible, I just don't know how someone gets there. And what is the moral of that myth? Is it that hard work and striving are bogus and unnecessary? Or is it that being willfully different is kind of attractive? Or is it as simple as that not working gives one more time to meet people?

Same old Scott up to the same old tricks...or bouts of ADD-laced apathy. Still good stuff.

I really liked this volume. Although the pacing was slightly confusing at first, I was able to brush over that and just enjoy the story and the art. Y’all should definitely give it a read.
