1st printing. Story and art by Mawil. You sit next to her in Sunday School, meet her at Summer camp, spend the first year away from home with her as a flatmate. You're intoxicated, excited, obsessional - you're in love. Then come the dreaded words "we can still be friends." In four very funny, bittersweet episodes Mawil explores that crushing moment we've all experienced when our hopes and dreams are dashed, our stomachs turned inside out and we want the ground to swallow us up. Widely held to be Germany's favourite Graphic Novel/Comics creator, Mawil's works have won numerous awards over the last six years and have been translated into French, Spanish, and Polish. This is his first book to be published in English and marks a terrific debut for one of Europe's best cartoonists. Softcover, 6 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 66 pages, B&W. Cover price $12.99.
