Breaks the fourth wall, which is always amusing. Maybe rehabilitates the image of monsters?? I hope.

It is neither birds, bees, nor storks.

A lesson we all honestly need to hear. Just shut up for a minute!! This is probably more aimed at the parents. I'll keep this nearby for the teen years.

An excellent reminder that we don't need to squeeze productivity from every single second of our lives. I enjoy also finishing this by shouting, “FINE! FINE! FINE!”

This might be one of my favorite books of any genre. Shocked laughter at the last page.

Really fun, interesting comix about gender, sexuality, and - gasp, my favorite of all - RENAISSANCE FLORENCE. A bit o' magical realism. A lot of tolerance. A moderate amount of sex between various people. And the ultimate message is: pride parades in San Francisco are on the right track.

Fine. Nice. I realize I need to probably stop reading middle grade/YA graphic novels, because I'm always like “ugh so simplistic” and then I'm like “oh, it's supposed to be for younger people”. Anyway, this was fine.
