*breathe in*
What a wonderful story. It's so full of life and common experiences that you can't help but really feel you know the Looney's. The small text and arrow actions inject it with motion that you know you've done yourself countless times. Though I haven't read Dash Shaw's other book, this reminded me of Blankets (Craig Thompson) in context and of Unlikely (Jeffrey Brown) in art style.
I read all 720 pages of it today. Half while I waited in the hospital and half on the couch when I got home and felt depressed. I didn't feel so depressed when I reached the ending though. :)
