Never have I cringed so much in embarrassed identification as I did while reading Daniel Clowes' "Ghost World."
A short excerpt:
Josh: So what's up?
Enid: Nothing. Sit over here. [points next to her]
Josh: Do you want something to drink?
Enid: Why? Are you trying to get me wasted so you can date rape me?
[Amy: You have said that exact phrase before I am sure]
Josh: Yeah, right...
Enid: "Yeah, right...?" Well, why not? What's wrong with me? Why do you even talk to me if you hate me so much ?
Josh: Why would i hate you?
Enid: Who knows? You've never once said anything nice to me!
Josh: I always feel like you're going out of your way to make me feel uncomfortable so you can make fun of me...
Enid: That's just the way I am... I'm trying to get your attention! God, I practically love you, Josh!
[They kiss]
