What a fun read, and here is why. This is from the same author and illustrator of other amazing graphic novels (such as Lost in Tawain) and How to Draw books. The format is amazing and gives us not only the daily adventures of a kid's journal who wants to make an amazing comic book adventure but can't draw. Each page looks like the page of his diary with simple and fun drawings illustrating his attempts to find a decent illustrator for his comic. It's not as easy as it seems. In a way, Pam has no interest in this comic (at first) or in drawing it, but people like their work together, and she learns she has a lot of fun. The problem is that they will take their time to understand how to work together. This is very pertinent it's not easy to determine who the project belongs to and who makes it successful when there is no communication. Is the story more relevant than the hard work of the illustrator? Is it right to change another's work and edit without acknowledging that it's harder to do than just what they may think? I've been in both parts, and I relate to both characters a lot. The same questions can be applied to other creative projects that include a band or team.
Awesome story and fun. Their comic of the onion superhero is also fun, and reading the fan mail is a great extra.
