Telgemeier, Raina – Take-Out #3

Take-Out #3 Now Available! $1

You know, looking back on it, boys pretty much had it easy in middle school.  Sure, there was enough general awkwardness to go around, but compared to what girls had to go through, specifically the story Raina describes in this comic…  This is the tale of a slumber party and what comes from it.  A group of girls are invited to a slumber party (also the 12th birthday party of the girl) and spend the night playing ouija, chatting, and eventually giving “advice” to a girl with a crush.  This advice is designed to do nothing more than completely humiliate the girl in question, telling her that the only way this boy will notice her is through a complete and ridiculous makeover.  Naturally, she believes this group of “friends” and follows their advice, with disastrous results.  Raina might have made up the story, but it sure has a ring of truth to it to me.  Good stuff, and who doesn’t like a tale of complete social humiliation for a buck?
