June 23, 2010New review for Crass Sophisticate #7 by Josh Reinwald, and fans of that series may notice that it’s only Josh for this early issue. Yep, obscure small press trivia, read it in good health!

June 22, 2010New review for Days by Simon M., and I’m still getting rid of those big creator pages with everything on the same page, so if you’re listed here and have those pages linked I can’t fix the links for you. And yes, that is one of the many steps needed to get this rental idea off the ground, which I am still working on, don’t fret…

June 21, 2010New review for Is It The Future Yet? by Corinne Mucha, and if you have reviews up here and you’ve posted a link to them at your site(s), please be advised that I am deleting the monster reviews with everything on one page and am sticking with the one title per page concept. Please update your links accordingly.

June 16, 2010New review for Yasha Lizard #3 by Kristina Stipetic, and it looks like I’ll be heading out of town this weekend instead. Or not, as these things are subject to change. Tell you what, just keep doing what you’re doing in regards to checking this site for new reviews, and I’ll keep putting them up, just possibly not every single day that you’d like to see them. Deal?

June 15, 2010New review for It Sure Is A Super World! by Kenn Minter & Clarence Pruitt, and I’m probably heading out of town tomorrow for a couple of days, so I may or may not be able to get a review up before I leave. That offer for free comics for web design help still stands, by the way…

June 14, 2010Yep, I didn’t post an update yesterday. Maybe I’ll be able to make up for it during the week, but as I’m probably heading out of town for a few days this week I kind of doubt it. Maybe next week I’ll have time for double review days.  Oh, the new review today is for Yo! Burbalino #2 by Greg Farrell. And I’ve probably already mentioned this, but if anybody reading this is a fan of comics (duh) who also has experience with web design, I’m looking for help with the comic rental system I’m trying to set up. I can make it worth your while in comics, or possibly some sort of lifetime membership in the comics rental program. Sound intriguing? E-mail me why don’t you.

June 10, 2010New review for Summer Goes Slowly by Greg Vondruska. Long-time readers may recognize that name, as he was one of the mainstays in the early days of Optical Sloth but I hadn’t seen anything from the guy in years. Turns out he was working hard the whole time, and he sent a chunk of new comics along recently to prove it.

June 8, 2010New review for The Solar Brothers Volume II by Matt Kish. It was supposed to be a review for a comic by somebody named Chris Monday, but he didn’t put any contact information in his book and apparently Chris Monday is a famous person of some kind, so I wasn’t able to find anything about the guy. Don’t let this happen to you, makers of comics! Always put some sort of contact information in your books, or people like me will just chuck your comic aside in disgust!

June 6, 2010New review for Sugarcube by Sam Gaskin, and it turns out I’ll be away from the computer during the week for a couple of days during the week instead of the weekend. Surprise!

June 5, 2010New review for Sadist Science Teacher by Kelly Froh, and I’ll probably be away from the site for a few days while I head up to Chicago to smack some sense into the Blackhawks. Or to watch the game, whichever opportunity comes first. If so I’ll make up for lost time when I get back, and hope to have the constant, hilarious list of things wrong with the site whittled down a bit by then.

June 4, 2010New review for Window #1 by Dave Lapp, and the man was nice enough to send along copies of his whole series (14 issues) for use in this comic rental idea of mine. And hey, that’s an excellent way to start talking about that! As you can see from the site, my web guy and I changed the format up to try and take care of some of the issues (weird store issues, giant blank gaps on the page). If you were looking at the site between 5-6:30 pm CST yesterday you got to see all sorts of themes popping up, so if you caught something there and liked it better than what’s up now, why not let me know? Sadly, this seems to have caused a few more issues, which are being looked at, but as my tech guy is getting married this weekend (congrats again!) they’ll probably still be messed up for a few days. In the meantime you may notice that there’s a tab called “Optical Sloth Comic Rentals” up there now, and there’s a “Subscribe” button. But look, no comics! That’s a project I’ll be working on for the next couple of weeks, but if all goes well this will be up and running by June 20th. I’m shooting for sooner, but am well aware of previous promises I’ve made about this thing. Anyway, once comics start going up there I’ll let you guys know, and at that point it’ll be first come first served, so if you’re interested in getting in on the ground floor of this experiment I’d recommend keeping an eye on this site for the next few weeks. Oh, and I should be able to get updates up over the weekend, but I just wanted to make sure everybody was clear on what’s going on around here.

June 3, 2010New review for Decorum by Ed Choy Moorman, and jeers to the Blackhawks for prolonging this Stanley Cup series. I’m getting sick of my playoff beard over here…
