Starting as an indie comic series by acclaimed graphic novelist Daniel Clowes, ''Ghost World'' appeared in ''[[
While conceptually similar, the comic and film differ in their featured characters. The character of Josh, an alienated friend (and quasi-love interest) of Enid's (and Rebecca's), plays a major role in the comic, while only being a side character in the film. Seymour, a lonely and cynical middle-aged man is a central character in the film, yet only appears for a few panels in the comic, a victim of one of Enid's pranks.
Line 14:
=== Both comic and film contain examples of: ===
* [[A Date
{{quote| '''Enid''': "I think I'm going crazy from sexual frustration." <br />
'''Rebecca''': "And you haven't heard the miracle of masturbation? }}
Line 23:
* [[Prank Date]]: What Enid pulls on Seymour, though it leads to very different outcomes in the film and the book.
* [[Significant Sketchbook]]: Seymour discovers Enid's sketchbook at one point, and feels crushed when he sees a portrait of himself portrayed as depressing and alone.
* [[Surrounded
* [[This Loser Is You]]: Seymour.
** An argument can be made for Enid in the movie, much to the ire of fans of the original comic. The film comes off as a deconstruction of the comic.
