Credits Grade: 7 "XXXLiveNudeGirls is a scrapbook of bad choices, replayed in dream-like technicolor" reads the last line on the back cover of this first issue. I have to agree. The Table of Contents lists the chapters as having titles such as Booze no.256 and Sex no.7. This is certainly not a book for children, yet it is not pornographic, as the title might imply.The comic is drawn, but it appears as if photographs were taken, first, and then drawn over and graphically changed, so that they are half way between photographs and drawings. It gives the art a flashback or dreamlike quality appropriate to the events unfolding. So the images tell the event, but the words add the personal view of the event. We who are adult, who have had more than our share of fun, will probably recognize the woman telling these tales. As a woman, I know that each of these stories is familiar. I have been the woman in the tale, or I have certainly met someone like her. The stories are all told in the first person, so that the reader becomes the intimate confidant. The priest, listening to confessions. The woman in these tales leads a life that is outwardly full of fun — dancing, drinking, casual sex. Yet underneath, she is alone. Intelligent and thought provoking, XXXLiveNudeGirls is interesting food for thought. Written: May 3, 2002
