(no subject)
i typed up the review to show my brother so i may as well share it with you guys. but still, i guess you should go buy the magazine cuz its good and independent blah blah blah.
Open up this book, and the first thing that hits you are the words: "a very crude comic." And it's true: the art is very crude. Not bad but lazy. Nevertheless, good comics don't always contain good drawing, and this is one of the best minicomics I've read all year. The stories are random-like flipping through somebody's sketchbook-but are full of humor and heart. In one story, the main character spills a can of soda but is too lazy to clean it up. She gets paranoid about ants so instead just sprays the can with Raid. I don't mind the looseness of the art, but occasionally the scanning of the drawings is so bad that it becomes difficult to read. This is a book I would love to see redone with a little more care. If you can get past the grime, you're in for a great read.
and here's some new comics. this is 2 pages from the next volume. yes i still make comics.
also, we have a pet rat now, her name is Reverse Pacman.
whattt else. yes i still have my chinese delivery job, and did not quit because i moved. i mean, most people commute MORE than 20 minutes every day, so what are you insinuating? that my job is a joke? well my life is a joke so it suits me!
Go see The Devil & Daniel Johnston.
I'm reading the dictionary. I'm on the "Br"s.
I was reading some Charles Bukowski. It's very good. The Ciccone Youth EP is really good. But it's Pavement season for sure. Anything else? no. WHATEVA SEE YA LATA.
