Eh. I had hope. Every once in a while I like something a little raw and this seemed like maybe it would do the trick. It did not.

I really liked about half of this. The other half is dicks which is fair I guess.

Have you considered that I‰ЫЄm not insecure‰Ы_

And that you are an asshole?

This!

Jane Mai is awesome. Irreverent and hilarious, this book has crappy art, but it‰ЫЄs the best. It‰ЫЄs wrong in so many ways, that it‰ЫЄs perfect.

Let a bitch have some gravitas, okay?

the humore is kinda dated even though it's not very old. the social media age and all that. i really identified w/ some of the panels and some of it was very gross which is great.

Not as witty as Liz Prince, but relatable and off-the-cuff. Mai makes me want to write more.

If you're going to self-mythologize, this is a great way to do it. Also a very funny book.

I dunno how to explain why this got on my nerves except to say it's too aggressively straight?

otterno11's review against another edition

3.0

An entertaining, if shallow, collection of sketchy memoir comics, Jane Mai's "See You Next Thursday” is a quick, breezy read. Dealing with overdrinking, poor job prospects, sex, immigrant parents, and other 20-something aspects of figuring out this whole adulthood thing, Mai’s work is very funny in a rather raunchy, slackery way, in particular her asides scribbled every few pages. With a deliberately sloppy style, as though jotted down on a napkin at a bar just as the thought or anecdote occurred, there is definitely something very confessional here but on the other hand, it often feels all over the place, with little linking one escapade from another. I am curious to see how her work evolves.
