New review today for Lemonade Tango #3 by Henry Uhrik. There’s an election less than a week away in Ohio (it’s a little one, tell all your friends to vote and you could maybe actually get a dark horse candidate of your choosing to win), so this may be it for reviews until that’s over. Probably, actually. But we’ll see!

July 25, 2022New review today for Meeting Comics #22: The Musical by Andrew Neal. Sure, I may have stopped doing weekly reviews of his book, but I still have a few left to talk about. Also I just saw his new stickers on his website, and two of them made me laugh out loud, so go there are see if you can guess which ones!

July 19, 2022Probably not the greatest idea to mention my covid positive status and then take a week off reviewing, huh? I’m fine, outside of maybe some long covid I haven’t found out about yet. But enough about me! New review today for Applewood Canyon #5 by Brian Canini.

July 8, 2022New review today for Poem by M.D. Usher and T. Motley, and you may remember that second name because I’ve been reviewing his stuff since the earliest days of Optical Sloth. Happy weekend y’all!

July 6, 2022New review today for Shooting by Pedro Burgos, as I try but fail to go a week without reviewing one of the mini kus books. Oh, also I have covid, so please don’t breathe in too close to your screen. It took two and a half years, but it finally got me (I’m doing fine, please don’t fret).

July 4, 2022New review today for The Lighthouse in the City Volume 8 by Karl Christian Krumpholz! Sure, it’s a holiday, but I’m stuck at home with covid so you get a review. Yep, way after it’s fashionable I finally got hit by the pandemic. Always late to the party!

June 30, 2022It’s mini kus time! Just in case anybody thought they were going to call it a day after putting out the first 100 issues of their series, they’ve sent along everything up to #110. This one is #103, and it’s Grandad Reg by Patrick Wray and Clara Heathcock.

June 28, 2022New review today for Applewood Canyon #4 by Brian Canini. You’d think my stack of Brian’s comics left to review would be decreasing, but if anything I’m just holding steady. 21 years running this website, and he might be the one that pushes me to start doing bulk reviews, or at least a few issues at a time. How else am I going to finish Plastic People?

June 24, 2022New review today for Odd Clods #1 by Steve Steiner, which is both a mini comic and a newspaper. No, somehow the comics world at large still hasn’t figured out how to refer to these suckers…

June 22, 2022New review today for My Life in Records #7: Gemini Dream by Grant Thomas. Y’all are watching the January 6th hearings, right? Just a public service announcement if you’re not, as it’s some riveting stuff.

June 15, 2022New review today for Perry Midlife by S.R. Arnold, as I sit here listening to Pegboy for the first time in many years thanks to the nostalgia blast I got from John Porcellino’s comic earlier in the week. Does anybody outside of the Chicago area remember them? Hm.

May 30, 2022Reader alert: I’m doing that thing where I review a few books for the week all at once, but I’m also doing that while recovering from one humdinger of a cold (not covid, I’ve taken three covid tests in the last five days and they were all negative). Meaning that I’m probably meandering even more than usual, which should be a terrifying prospect for regular readers. New readers, I’m usually at least slightly more coherent than this. New review today for Town and County #1 by Alex Nall!

May 26, 2022New review today for Where the Rent Went by Andrew Neal, the Meeting Comics guy! Hey, wait a minute. Didn’t I say that I wasn’t going to do weekly reviews for his comics any more? Yes, and that’s a great point. See, my reasoning for that was simple. What I decided was

May 24, 2022I tend to write the updates on the weekend these days, and I should be at SPACE (Columbus small press comics extravaganza) right now. But I either have a false negative for a covid test or a fairly nasty cold, so either way I didn’t see any reason to expose anybody else to it. I’m basically writing all this to tell any regular readers who were also at SPACE: send me your review comics if you have any left after the show! I’m hoping to do a belated SPACE week with a fraction of the comics I missed. One of them, according to the guest list, was Brian Canini, and the new review today is for his Applewood Canyon #3.

May 12, 2022New review today for Forever and Everything #8 by Kyle Bravo. Will I have time for reviews next week? Yeah, probably. You all know the drill by now, right? Even if I go away for a week or even two, I still come back, full of new comics to talk about.
