...destructive streak that always seems to lead her to the wrong guys. Meanwhile Phoebe, a teenager from the sticks, arrives at the diner where Caprice works in order to find the owner, her father who left her 15 years earlier. Lastly, and most memorably we have Steve, a creepy weirdo. While displaying an obsessive interest in pop music, particularly the work of Ray Beam, Steve slowly descends further and further into isolated madness...
This quote, attributed to a senior Republican official, was a hoot: "Kerry is the weirdo first husband you married in college when you were an art major. Bush is the solid second husband who saved you, helped you raise kids and taught you golf" [Oct. 11].

...think Peter Parker is alienated and nerdy, check out Andy, a feckless, aimless orphan whose father left him an unusual legacy: superstrength and a ray gun that instantly annihilates its victims. Eightball positively crackles with self-loathing and pop-culture smarts and crawls with the kind of weirdo loners Clowes portrayed so well in Ghost World. Every frame is like a melancholy miniature Daumier, rendered in pulpy primary colors. If you're wondering what all the fuss is about comic books--sorry, graphic novels--check out Clowes.
