John Alston (verified owner) –
I think the decision to have zoomed-out comic strips with extensive author commentary was a stylistic mistake (it makes the strips harder to read!) but there’s plenty of charm and insight to make up for it.*
*Asperger’s was removed from the DSM 5, but I think most on the spectrum can identify with the author’s stories and experiences.
Postscript: I didn’t flip through every page, but I didn’t notice any profanity or blood. The physical print was amazing- it made me think of my
Batman trades.
