This scene may be familiar: you notice a celebrity sporting a fabulous new haircut, which sends you straight to the salon to have your hair styled the same way. The stylist snips away happily and, voila -- a little star factor has you looking like a million bucks. The next scene may be familiar also: you awake the next morning to the realization that you can't duplicate that fresh-from-the-salon look, and what's worse, the hairstyle doesn't ...more

It's funny, just now I started thinking about how the minicomic is the perfect format for little parables/reveries like these--a blog post this personal I'd avoid like the plague, and I'm afraid as a magazine article or a chapter in a book I'd dismiss it as too "This American Life" and move on to the next page.

A full-length graphic novel, nah, that would unnecessarily decompress and pad out Staros' economical, uncluttered, but captivatingly honest prose.

Cleverly bound in a faux yearbook cover (it's the little touches), interspersed with actual photos of Staros in his youth and handily illustrated by Bo Hampton...more
