The Eternal Smile, by Gene Luen Yang & Derek Kirk Kim

This is a pleasant read.  Three well-structured short stories with great illustrations.  Each section features a character orienting him or herself within the real world and imagined worlds.  Sometimes reality is not straightforward or even preferable.  My favourite was the last story, where an under-appreciated office worker pursues a love affair with the sender of a "Nigerian prince" bank fraud spammer.
