Most North American graphic novels seem to fit in three categories: superhero nonsense (which I often find boring with the notable exception of the Watchmen), pubescent horror stories (boring *and* mildly repulsive) and artsy, covertly autobiographical coming-of-age novels. The latter are generally better drawn than the former two and usually make for more interesting, if depressing, reads. Stop Forgetting to Remember fits exactly in that category: comics author Walter Kurtz, about to become a father, reflects on his past life as a geeky, pot-smoking teenager. As usual, most stories gravitate on his romantic failures and the inevitable discovery of the fairer sex (or, rather, sexes in that case). Thankfully, the author's broody recollections are offset by his present-day life as a new father, offering a positive, future-oriented outcome. All in all, a mature, well illustrated, humorous and finally not too depressing story. ( )
