"Skim" is Kimberly Keiko Cameron, a would-be Wiccan goth who attends a private girls' school in Toronto. She has a broken arm, an increasingly distant best friend, and she thinks she is falling in love with her favorite teacher, Ms. Archer. When Kim's classmate Katie Matthews is dumped by her boyfriend, who then kills himself, their entire school becomes obsessed with preventing suicide. Kim's classmates talk incessantly about taking care of one another and "celebrating life"-but all Kim gets is their disdain when she won't pretend to be happy. Graphic novel. Black-and-white art.
