When CB's dog dies from rabies, CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife. His best friend is too burnt out to provide any coherent speculation; his sister has gone goth; his ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized; and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace. But a chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of this group's bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that's both haunting and hopeful.

reviewed Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead on December 23, 2012 Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead
Watching A Charlie Brown Christmas this holiday season reminded me of an off-Broadway play called Dog Sees God -- an unauthorized and very dark parody of what happened to the Peanuts characters when they became teenagers -- that I saw in the city years back that featured a cast including Eddie Kaye Thomas, America Ferrera and Eliza Dushku.
I wanted to watch it again, but there didn't seem to be a recorded performance, so I did the next best thing and hunted down a copy of the script. Not only was it just as good as I remember, it's social commentary -- including topics of bullying, homosexuality, mental illness, drug use, suicide and violence in schools -- is possibly even more relevant today than it was when this was written almost a decade ago. On top of that, it's ending, a pinnacle of meta-ness, is perfect.
I highly recommend reading it, even if it is not the easiest thing to get your hands on.
