Sherman Alexie wrote the forward to this book. That's all I needed to know to read it. Glad I did, because this book is hilarious. Especially her awesome story of her non-date with Camille Paglia. Awkward.

ellen forney's comics are hotter than five-star curry (?) and there's a reasonably good chance they could cause some panty-dropping. there's an adorable scrabble-playing gramma alongside all the homos you could shake a stick at. hair cuts, love stories, courtney love, military funerals, and a smattering of drug stories: this is the material of our lives. forney's comics tell us something about how we feel about the world. she gives us one moment to decide for ourselves - funny, or tragic? dan savage's First Time with a dude is here, alongside an almost-date with Camille Paglia. i laughed a lot, especially at the illegal drug stories, and i wanted to take the book and put it in the hands of someone i care about, and ask them to read it and then wait smugly for their Thank You, handshakes, hugs, and joyful tears. i got it from the library, though, so i can't actually give this copy to someone. i hope that, instead, you will go and find a copy of these comics, and read it yourself, and then thank me.

She's a great cartoonist; this is a slapdash collection. If you can read one or two at a time, you'll enjoy it a lot more than if you plow through it. But no joke, there's gold here.
