Toolkit notes: this book actually serves as a good example of how to construct a narrative in the form of random comedic anecdotes told while propped against the bar. Statements come along that seem to have no relevance to the ones preceding, until they do, and by the end the "characters"' emotional arcs are clearly delineated.

Alison Bechdel's Fun Home seems similarly anecdotal and non-chronological, while having a more obvious relevance and flow. The super-Pop Art cover makes me wonder how Bit of A Blur would work as a comic book...or following your wee note on the author, a shoujo manga series! Drawn by Yazawa-sensei, natürlich.
