Judd Winick: Pedro and ME


This was the season of the Real World that I truly got involved. I cared about the people, and was awed by Pedro's spirit.
This graphic novel detailing Judd's experience, relationship, and lessons learned from his friendship with Pedro was an awesome tribute and learning vehicle.

His drawings are minimalistic, but the emotions can't be missed on the faces of the individuals in Winick's text. A bit racy from time to time, but totally worth a conversation with a young person for the tremendously down-to-earth vital information provided from Pedro's life.

AWESOME.
