 Meet David Boring: a nineteen-year-old security guard with a tortured inner life and an obsessive nature. When he meets the girl of his dreams, things begin to go awry: what seems too good to be true apparently is. And what seems truest in Boring's life is that, given the right set of circumstances (in this case, an orgiastic cascade of vengeance, humiliation and murder) the primal nature of humankind will come inexorably to the fore. "Boring finds love with a mysterious woman named Wanda, loses her, and sort of finds her again. He also gets shot in the head (twice) and stranded on an island with his brutish family. Meanwhile the world may or may not be ending soon. And did I mention that much of this is hilariously funny?" --Time "Clowes is a master storyteller and artist--and there's poetry in every panel." Esquire "[Clowes] spells out the realities of teen angst as powerfully and authentically as Salinger did in Catcher in the Rye for an earlier generation."Village Voice [Clowes is] the country's premier underground cartoonist . . . a master storyteller and artist."
