Jim Rugg.
Despite their victory in The Plain Janes, the community-art champions and odd-girls-out face even greater challenges in their second graphic novel. The authorities close in as they struggle with community relations, internal conflict, and romantic and family woes. Text and art complement each other with precision and wit, focusing and amplifying the story's emotional content without overstating it.
