As long as you have spare sheets handy
You should never judge a book by its cover, but sometimes having a cool title goes a long way to selling your piece. Liz Prince's Will You Still Love Me If I Wet The Bed? comic book has one of those titles, and the artwork isn't too shabby either.
    Liz Prince’s WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME IF I WET THE BED? offers a traditional narrative that, fortunately, doesn’t focus on urine nearly as much as the title suggests. Rather, Prince presents a series of vignettes portraying the small, personal moments between a young couple in love. Far from “Where is this relationship going?” she instead focuses two pages on such things as the couple rubbing their cold feet on each other in bed. She fills the entire 71 pages with those moments as the lovers tickle, tease, bicker, and chat candidly about their sex life. The book’s title comes from one of those scenes, which remains, thankfully, free of actual bed-wetting. It’s more of a rhetorical question.
I may have to pick it up just to frame it and put it on my wall. And I might read it in the meantime. Somehow, I also suspect this comic might find its way onto a t-shirt in the near future.
