The Li'l Depressed Boy, Volume 1: She Is Staggering by S. Steven Struble, Sina Grace

5.0

2/2 for artwork. It's not "pretty" or anything, but it just made me smile. I LOVED how he was a doll, and when he smiled or frowned, it was really such a powerfully simple thing. It's not a unique style I think, I'd find it in other graphic novels maybe, but it's a style I like, with unique characters and clothing and a sketchy feel to it. It's not too complicated, something I'm thankful for in a graphic novel sometimes.

3/3 for plot/characters/overall awesomeness: Ok, I won't lie--anything that has video game references that I actually understand, with simple jokes about life, etc. I'm bound to like. It wasn't "depressing" at all. I thought that it was funny, sweet, and I think I'll read it again soon since it took only a few minutes. Honestly, this is going to go in my favorites for when I'm feeling down. I thought all the characters were funny--the main character who we can all relate to, kinda nerdy, falls for the girl; the girl, whom is incredibly spunky and wild and overall nuts who quickly befriends the main character; the girl's roommate who is actually a pretty cool guy who also befriends boy; etc. etc.

It kinda reminds me of John Green...therefore...<3 <3 <3 it.
