How to Talk to GIrls at Parties was originally a short story written by Neil Gaiman in the Fragile Things short story collection and was adapted and illustrated by Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba (a Brazilian comics duo well known for their work on stories like Daytripper and Two Brothers). Which is why I was curious about the comic book adaptation of a short story about a teen boy getting dragged to a rather strange party by his best friend and all of the adventures that ensue as the boys attempt to meet (and talk) to the girls at the party. Often, I take the easy way out and just don’t bother to go unless someone drags me along. Unless I know a significant portion of the guests well, parties just mean sitting in a corner, sipping alcohol and wishing I was less awkward at making conversation with people.
