And the parents at Axtell probably don’t read english very well.

Because most of the kids that go to Whittier have parents that work 3-4 jobs, they don’t have time to read comic books.

What about the parents of Whittier and Axtell Park students? They weren’t even given a chance to show off their prejudicial biases. Why are Edison and Patrick Henry always given preferential treatment?

Why not let the parents just bowdlerize the damn…er darn book by editing or removing the pages or chapters they find offensive. Everybody wins!

The irony is that kids can get their hands on this book anyway, and all the hoopla about it now will probably tempt kids to get in now.

Graphic novels, comics, ‘zines, should be a way of life for young people. It keeps them sane and gives them a realistic view of life. What can you learn from Sports Illustrated?

I firmly believe “Welcome to the Dollhouse” should be mandatory viewing for middle school kids. Life from their perspective.

I dont think it was all about sex, but “foul language, sexual references and teen smoking”.

School Supply Store reviews the COMIC as:
A very unscientific poll recently revealed that 99.9% of all people who attended middle school hated it. Fortunately, some of those people have grown up to be clever and talented comic artists, with an important message to share: Everyone can survive middle school!

Edited by underground comics icon Ariel Schrag, this anthology of illustrated tales about the agonies and triumphs of seventh and eight grade features some of Americas leading graphic novelists, including Daniel Clowes, Joe Matt, Lauren Weinstein, and Ariel herself. With a sense of humor as refreshing as it is bitingly honest, seventeen artists share their stories of first love, bullying, zits, and all the things that make middle school the worst years of our lives.
