Synopsis: Lil Depressed Boy and his chick plan a party.

There’s not much to say about the art here. It’s pretty dull. It doesn’t grab. It’s not merely the mundane colors that lack vibe; it’s also the artwork itself. It’s pretty sketchy; it lacks a kick. I guess that’s supposed to make it compliment the lackluster story. I can go on and on about how the art didn’t move me. It’s time to get to the story.

If the story was real effective at touching me, the review might be longer. However, it’s just a plain, basic story. The characters don’t stand out in any way. Granted, there’s a mix of hipsters, scenesters, wanna-be punks, and maybe an emo or two, but that’s hardly anything worth raising an eyebrow over. For the most part, there is minimal dialogue. The story really lacked emotional effectiveness and, I guess, for that reason the effectiveness of the dialogue is lacking too.

Lil Depressed Boy doesn’t get much of a rating from me. It’s low because I don’t think the author wanted to show anything special. Maybe the author was merely going for a mediocre rating. It’s hard to get into these types of alternative comics. Many of them lack force or drive. They are merely stories. I can’t go anywhere with this.
