After a week-long run of productivity and energy, I've been having a week of lethargy and frustration.  Still am, really, but at the moment I feel blissed and optimistic after re-reading Zot! by Scott McCloud, a recently-reprinted 80s superhero comic in which a teenaged superhero from an ideal parallel universe and a pessimistic girl from our new york fall in love and explore one another's worlds.  It moves and inspires me like almost nothing else I have ever read, while at the same time rendering me cheerfully depressed in the certainty that I will never be the genius writer Scott McCloud is.

Has anyone else read it?  I really want to talk about it with someone, and can scarcely locate anyone who's even heard of it.
