I always wondered what a grown up Charlie Brown would be like, this is probably it. #comics #bookwyrm

The book is a catalog of the cringiest moments from the author's life, displaying all his anxieties and insecurities. And nothing else - it feels a bit self indulgent and playing to the gallery at times. Although I suspect the candid and self-effacing style is a way to disguie a big "fuck you" to the alt-comic industry (not a single one of them comes across as a decent human being). Either way, an interesting read.
