Update for 9/12/24

September 12, 2024

Sorry about the lack of reviews. Sure, I’m settled in (new address on the right, send me some comics so I can be sure the new mailbox works), but this new job is a lot, and I’m still trying to settle into some kind of routine. Bear with me, I do have a 23 year track record of reviewing, so chances are good that I’m not just going to vanish from the internet. Oh yeah, new review for Into the Thicket by Mark Antonius Puhkan!

Hey, I made it to Champaign! I’ve had a working internet for a whole day now and boy howdy, that just never works right on the first try, does it? I went out with a mini kus, so I’m coming back to Illinois with a mini kus: new review today for Comicum by Majenye!


“Update” for 8/20/24

August 20, 2024

So it turns out that moving from Ohio to Illinois (with as much stuff I have) is an incredibly time consuming process! I’d hoped to get another review or two in before I left, but here I am, leaving tomorrow, and most likely without an internet connection for the week after that. The new address is 306 E. California Ave Urbana IL 61801, in case you had comics you wanted me to review. I’ll be there Thursday, assuming all goes well, and why did I have to say that. Ah well. Back before the end of the month, in the meantime why not click on some random names in the “reviews by author” tab? Who knows, maybe you’ll find a new favorite artist.

Oh, mini kus. You got here just in time to give me a few comics to review while I’m in the chaos of moving and already having most of my comics packed. New review today for Undertow by Sara Boica.

New review today for Plastic People #13-15 by Brian Canini, and in case you didn’t see my last update, I’m moving in a few weeks, so please hold off on sending any review comics until you see an address with “Illinois” in it on the sidebar. Thanks!

NEWS ALERT! I’m moving back to Illinois next month. Long story, I’ll get into it later, but it involves a better job than I have now (if not, I’m making a huge mistake). So if you were planning on mailing me review comics, maybe hold off for a few weeks, OK? I’ll post my new address up here as soon as I know it. Speaking of which, if you know anybody who’s renting a house (or nice apartment) in the Champaign/Urbana area, maybe send me an email? New review today for Eyeland #3 by Nick Forker!

New review today for Adorable Murderers by John Reynolds, as it turns out that this is “let’s review stuff from 2021” week here at the old Sloth.


Update for 7/22/24

July 22, 2024

New review today for Sportsbar NY Part III by Martin Pohl, and if you know where to get further copies of this, please contact me. If not, everybody who’s interested can consider locating a copy to be part of a scavenger hunt. Fun!


Update for 7/18/24

July 18, 2024

New review today for Scumburbia: Mega-Sized Mall Issue by Sam Grinberg. How’s that new website design grabbing you? Good? Bad? Indifferent? If it’s provoking a strong reaction, let me know! Or if you want to design/upgrade my website in return for comics because of the fact that I’m still somehow unable to do anything past the most basic website design, also let me know.


Update for 7/16/24

July 16, 2024

Hey look everybody, a new website design! Eh, I’m still undecided about it, but my skills in that area are limited (to put it extremely mildly), so I don’t want to do too much and risk blowing the whole thing up. At least now everybody can see the years that the reviews were published, for those of you think I just came into existence a few months ago or something. I’ve been talking nonsense here since August 2001, baby! Even if the dates on some of those early reviews are messed up from past website updates. Oh yeah, also there’s a new review today for Ha! Magazine Summer 2024 by Robb Mirsky.

New review today for Total Eclipse of Brick by David Craig, happy weekend y’all!

New review today for Cosmic Static by Bart Wolf, as I’m starting the week off on a cheery note. Sarcasm!


Update for 7/3/24

Hey look everybody, it’s a new issue of Meeting Comics! New review for The Divorce Party by Andrew Neal.

New review today for Odd Clods #7 by Steve Steiner, as the SPACE pile keeps shrinking but never seems to completely disappear.


Update for 6/27/24

June 27, 2024

New review today for Cartoon Flophouse by Michael Aushenker, as the reorganization of my comic review piles of really paying off!


Update for 6/25/24

June 25, 2024

New review today for Applewood Canyon #9-11 by Brian Canini, as yes, I’m still doing bulk reviews for his shorter comics. It’s my only chance to get through his pile! Speaking of piles (and stop reading here if you don’t care at all about behind the scenes stuff here), I finally got the time/motivation to put all the various piles of comics that I still need to review into one place. Now it’s four piles! Yes, that actually is an improvement. So if you sent me a review comic years ago and wonder why I never got around to it, well, your odds just vastly improved!


Update for 6/21/24

June 21, 2024

New review today for Dog Restaurant by Brandon Lehmann, in one of those rare reviews where I’m actually talking about the book in the month that it was released. I’m on the cutting edge!


Update for 6/19/24

June 19, 2024

New review today for The Fifty Flip Experiment #32 by Dan Hill, and no, I still don’t know if it’s “Fifty” or “50.” Maybe we weren’t meant to know.


Update for 6/14/24

New review today for Teen Girl Killed by Lauren McCallister, happy weekend y’all!
