This short graphic novel tells the story of a man whose childlike, pathetic desire to be liked leads him into numerous extramarital affairs, and eventually to lonliness and isolation.

Menjivar captures very subtle emotions in his art. The story isn't too deep but worth a look, especially if you're a fan of alternative or "underground" comics.
