Tomboy

Scribbly black and white panels enliven a "preach it" style bio-narrative about school years and growing up.

I identify a lot with the feelings of "non-girliness" that Prince talks about, and cleverly illustrates, in her graphic novel biography.
This was about halfway between Persepolis and El Deafo in the unvarnished, unflinching presentation of growing up different - either because of personal or ideological differences to one's societal expectations. I really enjoyed it, and hope that a lot of other people who don't quite fit into the gender stereotype (or really, any sort of expectations) will find this and realize there are lots of people who don't fit into boxes.
