The Voyeurs by Gabrielle Bell


Gabrielle goes to France and Japan with filmmaker Michele Gondry, who intends to make a movie of her last comic Cecil & Jordan. Along the way she illustrates the many annoyances of her life, ranging from computer addiction to bad food. She goes to get her laptop fixed, and now she’s freaking out that it’ll take five days. For anyone under 35 years old, five days with no computer is like going cold turkey after a 10 year crack habit. Like most of Generation-Y, she can’t live without the internet, but after five days without it, she kind of likes it. She asks the store to remove the air card so she’ll never use the web again, and they say “just turn it off.” But she can’t. The only guy she knows that doesn’t use the internet is a homeless man.
