1st printing. Story and art by Jason Shiga. Jimmy is a twenty-something geek who lives at home in Oakland, trapped in his own torpidity. When his best girl friend Sara (a girl and a friend, but not a girlfriend) announces she's moving to New York City for a publishing internship, Jimmy is rattled. Then lonely. Then desperate. He screws up his courage, writes Sara a letter about his true feelings for her, and asks her to meet him at the top of the Empire State Building. When he arrives in the city, Jimmy is surprised by how exciting he finds New York - and how heartbreaking: Sara pretends she didn't get his letter and even worse, has a boyfriend! Hardcover, 6-in. x 8 1/2-in., 144 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $17.95.
