The story and characters were interesting, the
format really worked, the illustrations were great, and I really liked the glimpses of the main
character's actual artwork and cartoons.
I found it quite funny in places, and quite thought-provoking in others.
Personal enjoyment:
solid 4 stars
What I imagine a real fan of this genre of graphic novels
might think: 4.5 or 5 stars
