Pedigree Girls by Sherwin Tjia

I love this book. I will come out and say that now. It's not exclusively lesbian by any means, but I do like their arguments and flirting. Basically the whole book is the same picture reproduced on each page with the odd tweak here and there but each strip is an out-take in a conversation and I find them hilarious.
Some of you may feel that having the same strip over and over is a waste of your money but I can't say it bothered me.
The girls are cruel and bitchy to each other and then in the next one they'll be quite sexy to each other.

"1: Am I still your girlfriend?
2: I'm going through some restructuring right now... ... you'll have to re-apply"

I just find it cruel and funny. Some bits are very typical 'teenage girl' conversations too, which just made me cringe for all the stupid things you say when you're 14 and that you overhear on buses etc.

No sex shown, as it's just two girl's heads most of the way through but they do mention incest, sex with each other's dads, anorexia and a lot of it is just a bit wrong but that just seemed to make it funnier to me - but then I'm a sick puppy, so if you don't like certain themes you may want to prepare yourself before reading or avoid it for something fluffier and kinder.
