[edit] Story arcs
The story is divided into three story arcs:
- #1 to 6 — about Matt's relationship with his girlfriend Trish and their breakup; collected in the book The Poor Bastard, 2002.
- #7 to 10 — deals with Matt's childhood and family. Collected in the book Fair Weather, 2002.
- #11 to 14 — depicts Matt arguing with his cartoonist friends and obsessing over his addiction to pornography. A new, cleaner style of drawing was adopted for this storyline. Printed in two colors on tinted paper. Collected in the book Spent, 2007.
