Blankets is an autobiographical graphic novel (or an "illustrated novel" as it's called on the cover) by Craig Thompson.Blankets tells the story of Craig's life from childhood until adulthood. Growing up Craig had a less-than-stellar childhood full of unfortunate events and boredom. He spent his days drawing and fantasizing. As he grew, he became more and more interested in Christianity as a way of dealing with his woes. While at Bible Camp as a teenager, his life changes when he meets another outcast named Raina. | |

Sadist Teacher: One of Greg's teachers is portrayed this way. Of course, Greg did submit a poem about people eating excrement so she does have a point... | |

Their First Time: Played with. Craig and Raina are (definitely in his case, implied in hers) each others first adult sexual experience, but they never go farther than dry-humping while Craig kisses her breasts. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Blankets (Comic Book) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: When Craig and Raina are about to go to bed together for the first time (only sleeping, using each others presence as comfort), Craig mentally recites several Bible passages which deal with the temptations of the flesh as being something to resist. Then he sees Raina in her nightgown and his thoughts switch to the Song of Solomon, which is a paean to the joy of God's gift of sexuality. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Blankets (Comic Book) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: While Craig's father is never seen beating the children, he does lock Phil up in a spider-filled closet for being too noisy, and when Craig is caught drawing a dirty picture, he looks like he's barely restraining himself from hitting him. Also when one friend's mother catches them having a pee fight, Craig mentions that they were lucky it wasn't their father. | |

Everyone Has Standards: When Craig gets with the other social exiles, they go into the boys' cabin and mess with their stuff. Greg however objects to one kid's stuff being messed with because to him, he sounds like a harmless nerd - and it's one thing to do this to jocks because they deserve it. | |
