I'm probably partial to it because while I came of age in the 1990's, I still listened to all the same music (Husker Du, The Cure, Camper Van Beethoven) that the author references. Even if you don't know the songs, though, you understand the feeling he's conveying. It's bittersweet and a little melancholy and a bit tongue in cheek. Remember how everything seemed like such a big deal, navigating through dating and friendships and parties, it's all in this book. John Porcellino is unflinching at showing both the flaws and strengths of his characters, and makes you think of being a teenager kind of fondly, while remembering why you're glad you're a grown-up.
To put it as plainly as possible, Perfect Example is one of the best examples of autobiographical cartooning ever published. That Porcellino manages to create an actual story arc out of life's random events should be cause for awe, but to also do it with such emotional insight and honesty seems frighteningly talented. Perfect Example captures the confusion and pain of many people's teenage years very well. But this memoir lacks perspective and interpretation, without it, this story could be anyone's, making Perfect Example more like a static document than a good story.
