Laterborn #5 is another collection of sweet, perceptive comics, this time focused on Jason's high school and college life. In the comic "Lily," he manages to perfectly capture that very first relationship. Not the Craig Thompson "Blankets" kind of romance, but the one even before that. That barely teenaged foray into the world of dating. The awkwardness of "Mom, will you drive me there?" and staying up late on the phone like it was your lifeline. There's also a comic of unrequited love, and one about why people choose to die in Sausalito. These comics, while often sad, understand something very basic about human nature.
