"My favorite comic of the year." —Jeff Smith, creator of Bone

"With this slim volume, Robinson cements his reputation as a master cartoonist." —Publishers Weekly
"Touching and funny ... By the story's end, wish fulfillment has become something much more challenging and, frankly, beautiful. There's a lot going on in this little book." —Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
Andy Wicks is a forty-something father of two who's tried everything to quit smoking — from going cold turkey, to the latest patches and nicotine chewing gums — so he figures he'll give this hypnosis thing a try. What's the worst that could happen? Unfortunately, Andy gets dealt a fate worse than death — high school! Transported back to 1985, Andy returns to his formative years as a gangly, awkward teenager. Is he doomed to relive the mistakes of his past, or has he been given a second chance to get things right? One thing's for sure: this time he's going to ask out that girl from math class... Presented as a gorgeously formatted hardcover graphic novel.
