***

Blue Pills is graphic-format memoir about a man whose girlfriend (and her toddler son!) are HIV positive. This was great right up ’til the end where Frederik he has a philosophical discussion with a mammoth. I did learn some new information about AIDS, and the story of falling in love was very well told.
