Actually I live in the south so I'm not even allowed to make jokes like that. I did get Ice Haven for cheap though. I highly recommend Amazon's "Buy Used" feature.

I really liked this one. In fact I'd say that it's right behind Ghost World in terms of favorite Clowes GNs. I thought it was pretty damn inventive the way he used a Sunday-style newspaper strip format to string together this larger narrative. I guess 'Jimmy Corrigan' employs a similar method, but Ice Haven sort of took this device to the next level.

I love the characters that Clowes constructs, and this book is packed with characters, each one kookier than the last. It ends with one of those bizarre Clowes non-endings, as do pretty much all his books as far as I can tell.

I can't really think of much bad to say about it.
