I love graphic novels and was exicted to read Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartiest Kid on Earth. This book got really high marks from one of my favorite writers, David Sedaris. While I loved the artwork and how it meshed with the story, my interest in the story itself and the characters waxed and wanted a lot. In the end I just didn't care about Jimmy. I read this book about a year ago and can't recall all that much about the story.
