Query: Buck up and read it!

I was afraid at first to try Lynda Barry's Cruddy. The mottled illustrations, they frightened me a little. The subject matter intimidated me. The characters seemed too strong, I complained. And I wanted a laugh or two from my recreational reading material. But Barry's reputation always precedes her--I had faith. I decided to buck up and try it.I got my laughs. I really did; they were partitioned with healthy doses of pathos. And most of the scenes made me squeamish now and then, making me appreciate that thing about art. You know, that thing that makes you so uncomfortable that you're forced to think. That thing that coaxes you out of your hiding place and then--bam!--exposes you to simple, powerful lessons.Cruddy will dazzle you with its dark, brilliant style. The scenes will draw you in, the contrasts in setting and character all blending together nicely under Barry's brash, deliberate brush.
