The Adventures of a Lesbian College School Girl

Rating:
Summary: Two 'girls' satisfy each other but not this reader.
Review: This graphic (hehehe) novel is frenetic in its pacing, something sexual is happening on each page, so readers won't be wanting of that kind of material. Petra is suffering from frustrated sapphic lust when she meets Jennifer, a new student at school (which more resembles a Catholic High School than a college). When Jennifer finds Petra's graphic diary that details her fantasies of lesbian lust the two quickly find sexual bliss of a sort (I hesitate to call it love). They also brazenly share it with others, namely a similiarly frustrated nun that teaches at their school. The artwork is black and white and, I thought, quite good. However the lack of any real story (the book is a series of vignettes, sliding from dreams, to fantasies, to reality in a smooth yet surreal fashion) or playfulness (with the exception of a two girls spied experimenting in a fenced off backyard) and romantic emotion (do these girls actually feel anything for each other or are they just using each other as tools for sexual release) weakens what little frothy fun can be found and makes it feel slight and hollow. Having the names of the main characters share that of the artist and author is a cute touch though. Recommended only for die-hard fans of this sort of thing.

Summary: Frantic, female fantasist
Review: This is a strange little book, it's large format black and white with a female heroine who's attempts to get herself off in the morning are rudely interupted by her need to go to school. Cue a day of increasing frustration with reminders of her unpartnered status, undirected nudity and ambiguous flirting all adding to her tension.
Cue the arrival of the new girl in school from there on the story (such as it is) picks up speed and at least some of our heroines fantasies get resolved.

This is an unashamedly adult comic and as a result there's not many pages between the sexual antics or at least nudity and given the subject matter that's all female nudity so if that's going to offend you just leave it alone.

The story is servicable it moves from scene to scene well enough and gives the heroine a bit of depth though everyone else is pretty much a cipher.

Th eart though is a real curiosity, it's nice art not exactly pretty but fun and quirky with an individualistic style, the whole comic is drawn without gutters (the white bit between comics panels) as a result it reads at a more frenetic pace than is normal (see Scott McCloud Understanding Comics if you want to know why this is) so you tend to find that if you get caught into the story over the pictures you run through the issue quicker than you'd think.

If you're into erotic comics this is worth a look, if you're intrested in drawings of teenage lesbians and dildos likewise (though it's not in hardcore detail). If you've never read a porn comic before this probably isn't the place to start though it's very quirky so it's more a cleanser for a jaded palette than something you'd expect as steady fayre.
