This is a collection of comic strips from the late 2000s.  Some of them are funny.  Some have the "R" word in them.  I would rather have the first collection, but I can't find it anywhere.  It's been a while since I read this the first time.  I wonder what happened to Emily Flake?

I read the Lulu Eightball Volume 2, though I can't seem to find Volume 2 in GoodReads. (I tried to add it, but it seems to be the same ISBN as Volume 1?)

Picked this up at Atomic Books during the First Friday. I had had a couple of tastes of FourLoko (Review: tastes like old Jolly Ranchers including the wrapper), but Josh had recommended Lulu Eightball for awhile and we'd never found the book.

Tore through this pretty quickly and enjoyed it. I felt like I enjoyed it more the more I read. Some pretty funny bits, and quite a few comics that I could relate to. Fun 'real-life' reflections written by a pretty clearly quirky girl, it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect an indie paper to print on their comics page.
