Love, revenge, and existential ennui in cartoons.

If you've got a thing for dark humor wrapped in a graphic novel, "David Boring" could intrigue you with its blend of the ordinary and the absurd. Daniel Clowes' protagonist lives through scenarios that are simultaneously bizarre and relatable, with sharp wit cutting through the melancholy of his life. It's an offbeat exploration of longing and the human condition that graphic novel aficionados and those who appreciate a side of satire with their existentialism won't want to miss.

Description

Meet David Boring: a nineteen-year-old security guard with a tortured inner life and an obsessive nature. When he meets the girl of his dreams, things begin to go awry: what seems too good to be true apparently is. And what seems truest in Boring's life is that, given the right set of circumstances (in this case, an orgiastic cascade of vengeance, humiliation and murder) the primal nature of humankind will come inexorably to the fore.
