I am proud owner of a Little Enid Action Doll ("it's Enid from Ghost World when she was a little girl!"). And no, I didn't pay anywhere near as much as the Fantagraphics site wants for her. Hurrah for being a frequent customer at the local comic shop! So... has anyone else actually gotten the chance to see Ghost World yet? It hasn't played around here. :(

My lips are numb, so I think I may have forgotten to take my Paxil before I went to sleep last night. Gotta love side effects, especially those that remind you to actually take your pills. I have been more faithful about Paxil than just about any other medication in my life, including BuSpar (which made me feel crappy enough that NOT taking it was the more desirable state: as it started to metabolize, I'd get dizzy and sleepy and my arms would go pretty numb from the elbow down).

Other than that, I'm enjoying my evening at home, puttering around in my blue tank top and my white capri pj bottoms with the little retro flowers all over them and the hem border of green grasses and flowering plants. Friends-only entry about to go up in a minute.

I read a little bit of Ghost World at See Hear a few years ago. I liked that one book Caricature. But I thought it was dull. It never wrestled with the heavy issues.

i dunno... does clowes ever wrestle with the heavy issues? i think caricature is coming out in pb next year... it's oop in hc. & i'm waiting for the pb of david boring cause i can't be arsed to read it in the bookstore (i've tried. like six times.)

i liked ghost world a lot (enough to need a Little Enid Action Doll as a computer mascot), but generally prefer acme novelty library to eightball.
