Cat isn't happy about leaving her friends for Bahia de la Luna, but Maya has cystic fibrosis and will benefit from the cool, salty air that blows in from the sea. SYNOPSIS: Catrina and her family are moving to the coast of Northern California because her little sister, Maya, is sick.

Body-conscious and with interests few share, Laura goes out every night in varying personas. Throughout high school, a person is constantly changing the way they appear to others in order to define who they are. Ghost World is about the awkward time in a teenagers life: post-graduation. (It goes without saying that you should immediately read this book if you can't decide which Invasion of the Body Snatchers is the greatest film ever made.) Even among the misfits, it is Laura who is most alien. An analysis and summary of Daniel Clowes Ghost World (comic) in comparison to the film by the same title. We never see them truly interact with others, but it is very clear how poorly they fit in from a look into the posters that adorn their practice space. Not unlike the central Teresa of 1856, we have Laura, Gloria, and Cristina in 2016, a trio punk-band-in-training, who recall the Shaggs more than they do the Clash.

Fundamentally a narrative of ill-fitting, the artwork very simply and very concisely informs us who belongs and who never will. The more aristocratic sisters and mother of the 1856 protagonist wear long frocks that hide much of their selves away, and it is they who stick out sore in the confines of the graphic novel. The central cast appear as extensions of nature, stretching onto, or growing out of, the forest floors they frequent. Rather, they dissolve like stick figures into the ground, and the ground itself is often grassed or earthy. None of the characters are drawn with faces or fingers, and we never see the ends of their feet.
