Quote #4
Even among my old friends I felt invisible, a shadow flickering around the edges of every event. (3.207)
In this full-page panel, a couple does some major French-kissing in the foreground, a crowd of people laugh in the background, and a boy with a blank white face sits with his arms crossed in a chair. The surgery has changed him from someone into no one—from a person into a placeholder.
Quote #5
I began skipping classes. School was only a short walk from downtown, with its skyscrapers, coffee bars and grand movie palaces. (3.208)
Not that we're telling you to skip school—really, we're not—but exploring the world for yourself and coming to your own conclusions is the most lasting, meaningful kind of education. Now go do your algebra homework.
Quote #6
(4.57)
When David's therapist tells him his mother doesn't love him, he holds the therapist's legs and cries a single tear. This panel is a full page with a black background, a carryover from David's black shirt in panel 4.56. The tears flow down the page like raindrops on a window, marking the transition to panel 4.58, the beginning of the next scene, in which rain falls outside.
