“Because" is a word used by ordered, order-loving beings about a world which they like to think is ordered. "Because" is for storybooks. This is... Well, I know this is difficult to understand, but what we see here is becauselessness itself.”
― Stephen Collins, The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil

This book was fun and got me out of a reading slump, but it wasn't very memorable.

4.5 Stars. Maybe my favorite graphic novel?? I’m not sure if it beats out Fun Home or the complete Persepolis but it’s GOOD. Definitely my favorite art in a graphic novel so far. And beautifully poetic.

Whimsical story about a beard that just won't stop growing. Simple enough, but artfully executed.

This was pretty good. I was expecting to give it five stars though.

There isn't really much to say about this book. I guess it was a nice read.
