 Really glad I went into this cold. But, like much of Clowes work, he does a lot of telling, and not a lot of showing, but there's a lot of storytelling happening in between the panels. Seems to be a love-letter to the type of comics he loved in his formative years, but with some personal events influencing the story. Its weird, but also very mundane, which make the weirder parts even more weird. Seems like it would reward multiple readings.
