Overall, I don't think that overall this comic works - it doesn't seem to know what it wants to be: confessional, polemic, manifesto, or even just story. In the end it settles for my least favourite sort of comics autobio - lacking in introspection, structure, awareness. Even humour. It's main virtue is that it is, I suppose, honest. Unfortunately, that leads to the obsessive documenting of (all?) the prostitutes he has met, which is obsessive, as well as a little unsettling. The space devoted to them is all the more infuriating as he fails to engage with the more interesting questions about his life choices (particularly toward the end of book).
To be honest, there are many grounds on which to challenge this book, but in the end, any comic that has, as this does, tens of pages of (prose) appendices, probably doesn't manage to achieve what it set out to. And that is strongly indicative of why I don't think this is a good comic.
