The Wrenchies by Farel Dalrymple

Is this what it's like to have schizophrenia and then take all the drugs at once?
Every time I thought I knew what was happening I was like wait...what? It's almost a brilliant story about getting sober, or is it? I feel like I need to read it again, but I don't actually want to. And I need to return it to the library like two weeks ago so that's definitely not happening.
It's very hard to rate. Maybe 2.5? The art is excellent, but the story feels like the author was high af.
I feel like this was written for a very specific audience that I only partly fit into. I don't want to say it's bad, I just think it wasn't meant for me. I appreciate that it seems to be heavily inspired by Fallout 3, and that it get's all existential about learning to move past pain, but the path was a bit lost on me.
