This comic has been racking up awards lately, but it's good nevertheless. It's little autobiographic bits from a cartoonist, but it's funny nevertheless. (It's by Adrian Tomine, so you might worry it's going to be more cringe-inducing than genuine funny; but though it wavers between these, I claim it's mostly genuinely funny, especially if you can get past the poop.) As advertised, it gets into the loneliness of the awkward people. Our hero fumbles conversations; he only expresses his emotions when there's nobody around to talk back.
Just in case you weren't yet sure that Adrian Tomine is no longer just an East (SF) Bay phenom but is now a New Yorker—a caption in the comic explains that some events happen in "Albany" but doesn't clarify whether that's Albany CA or Albany NY… and it turns out to be Albany NY.
