The Best Part of "Believe" is the "Lie"

"My name is Jimmy Burns. I'm a liar, a fake, and a fraud."

That had to be the most powerful statement I read from Shooting War. When I hear someone make an accusation like they lie, are fake, & are a fraud, it makes me not trust their word... So reading the entire graphic novel had me second guess how much was fact & how much was fiction from his end. It reminded me of the adventures of Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn. Huck is an alright kid, but changes his demeanor while around Tom. Sawyer is a bit of a hellraiser. The two, however, lie to their aunt Polly, which says something because they would never lie to her because of how much they love her. So with that being said, if they lied to their family, what makes you believe they won't lie to us, the reader, who they barely know?

Having someone muster up a bold statement makes you wonder is that statement even true? If they are a liar, fake, & fraud, wouldn't they be honest about their dishonesty[all of which makes NO sense]? It is very philisophical & way too annoying to try & comprehend. It just reminds me of Tony Montana saying, "I always tell the truth. Even when I lie," as well as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, "Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly." All contradicting statements, but well worth looking into because they're awesome movies.
