Pathetic Geek Stories Anyone who's lived through adolescence knows it isn't pretty. Combine first crushes and dorky headgear with a bad case of acne and you're looking at a powder keg of humiliation ready to explode. Thankfully for most of us, the pain (and wedgie scars) have faded with time; otherwise, perusing this site might be too much to bear. Created by Maria Schneider, herself a recovering adolescent, the site, more pitiful than funny, features true-story cartoons tackling such timeless embarrassments as "The Unchecked Zipper" and "That Time I Fell Asleep on the Bus." Those of us lucky enough to have survived the slow dances and dodgeball wars are sure to enjoy the nostalgia. (in Comics & Animation)
