The book was The Pretty Good Jim's Journal Treasury by Scott Dikkers. At first, I was a bit concerned about this strip. The art was terrible and some of the humor was hit-and-miss. But as I read it, the more it grew on me. And now that I'm older, I get it. Jim is me. I'm very passive, never initiate conversation and I do some stupid journal-esque type writing that no one cares about too.
Anyway, Jim's Journal is up there on my favorite comic strips list (it's in the top ten) because the humor is honest, even if it's not really meant to be funny and we all have a little bit of Jim inside us.
