More like 2.5 stars, but I'll round up.

This is the fictionalized account of the author's experience with infertility due to his sperm issues. As his stand-in points out in the story in regards to his wife, "It's hard for me to live with the fact that, although I'm the one with the problem, she has to deal with all the medical stuff in order to have a child." And that medical stuff is recounted in detail, usually contrasting the intrusive procedures she is undergoing while he trots off to masturbate in rooms that (oh no!) aren't particularly conducive to achieving ejaculation.

While its interesting to see the husband's perspective, it's also easy to see why we are usually given this tale from the woman's side. To add more drama, a good portion of the book is given over to his relationship with his estranged father, so he can, y'know, reflect on what makes a bad father, but I wish he had used the space to delve more into his relationship with his wife.

The art is an okay cartoony style, but at one point Roy is trying to capture the likeness of Clint Eastwood over several pages for an extended gag and doesn't quite pull it off. ( )
