ynopsis

The story is a darkly comic satire of British youth culture (with hints towards such films as "Natural Born Killers" [http://savagecritic.com/2007/09/my-life-is-choked-with-comics-9-kill.html "The Savage Critic": "My Life is Choked with Comics #9 - Kill Your Boyfriend & Girl #1-3," September 14, 2007] . Accessed May 29, 2008] ) which revolves round a bookish middle class schoolgirl, who has a bland unexciting life until she meets a strange young boy who convinces her to kill her boyfriend. They then go on the run together for a series of anarchic adventures across Britain.

Meeting up with a group of anarchic travellers in a double-decker bus, the pair indulge in more crime and sexual experimentation before making their way to Blackpool to meet their final fate.

Other

"Kill Your Boyfriend" was reprinted in the prestige format (with a spine) in 1998, perhaps as a prelude to Morrison & Bond's then-forthcoming collaboration on "The Invisibles" Vol. 3.
