From the depths of an old forgotten backpack, new review today for Planet Peezo by Suzanne Baumann.


Update for 2/15/09

February 15, 2009

New review for Arcade of Cruelty by Joseph Patrick Larkin, and is it allowed to say “Bah, humbug” for Valentine’s Day, or does that only work on Christmas?


Update for 2/14/09

February 14, 2009

New review for Slither #4 by Kelly Froh, also available in the store, and at least this downtime in getting comics is reminding me of how many excellent minis I have laying around that I haven’t gotten around to reading.  I mean, two whole Kelly Froh comics I have in my house that I still haven’t read?  That’s just silly.


Update for 2/13/09

February 13, 2009

New review for Nibble #2 by Tom Cherry…


Update for 2/12/09

February 12, 2009

New review for All The Trees Are Pink by Tom Motley, also available in the store.  Coming in three weeks, or whenever I run out of comics: an issue by issue analysis of Quasar and why in the world I thought it was so awesome when I was a kid.


Update for 2/11/09

February 11, 2009

New review for Tegne #2, an anthology edited by (I think) David Birchall.  Usually I try to wait until the author is off the main page before reviewing something else, but comics are scarce around here, as I may have mentioned once or twice…


Update for 2/10/09

February 10, 2009

Sorry for the late update, real life almost got me to break my streak.  Not yet though, so here’s a new review for Worms #2 by Brian John Mitchell & Kimberlee Traub.


Update for 2/9/09

February 9, 2009

New review for Cattapan Comics by Brian Cattapan, which is also brand new in the store.  Speaking of that, the next comic that goes in the store will be #400 in the inventory.  If you have a mini comic and you’d like to sell it here, I pretty much take anything, so e-mail me with any questions or just send some along for me to sell and you too can be “sold” through this website!


Update for 2/8/09

February 8, 2009

New review for Watusi the Talking Dog #23, a jam comic put out by Dale Martin, with Tom Cherry contributing all the final panels this time around.  Also, I’d like to extend my request for new comics to the “big” publishing companies, like Fantagraphics, Drawn & Quarterly, Top Shelf… anybody who’s still in business.  I can ramble about that stuff just as inanely as mini comics, you know…


Update for 2/7/09

February 7, 2009

New review for Jeff Sharp’s Flummery: 10th Anniversary Edition, another one of the shrinking pile of comics available in the online store.  Also, to any government official reading this, I promise to spend any money received for comics sold on this site on more comics, which should help with this stimulus thing you’re shooting for, or at least it’ll help the “starving artist” demo.


Update for 2/6/09

February 6, 2009

New review for The Herbivores #1 by James Stanton, a young man who was clearly smart enough to know that I’m pretty much reviewing things the same day I get them in the mail at the moment.


Update for 2/5/09

February 5, 2009

New review for Time Warp Comix #5, edited by Dan Taylor, featuring various folks and available in the online store.


Update for 2/4/09

February 4, 2009

New review for The Big Skinny by Carol Lay, and this is as good a time as any to mention the tough times alternative cartoonists like Carol are going through.  I know, times are tough all over, but weekly strips are often the first thing to go when money gets tight, and people like Carol (and Tom Tomorrow, Derf, Keith Knight, Ted Rall, etc.) are getting cancelled all over the place.  If you have a weekly local paper and they’ve cut the comics, why not send a nauseatingly polite e-mail to the editor of that paper mentioning that the comics are one of the main reasons you pick the things up to begin with?  Doesn’t cost you a dime and it may just convince some of these people to keep going once things get really ugly in a few months.


Update for 2/3/09

February 3, 2009

New review for Romantic Eye #1, edited by Mark Innes and featuring all kinds of people.  This is also the same Mark Innes who reminded me (just after I finished reading this comic, which was excellent timing) that he also published Oatmeal II, which I reviewed a few days ago without knowing where people could get a copy.   Well, now I know!


Update for 2/2/09

February 2, 2009

New review for Extricate #9 by David Birchall, and as it’s Groundhog Day I feel compelled to say something that’ll be familiar to everybody who comes here on a daily basis: send me some comics!  I was at a loss for what to review today, but this comic came in the mail, making that decision simple.  See how easy it is to get your comic mentioned on a moderately seen (in the small press comics world anyway) website?


Update for 2/1/09

February 1, 2009

New review for Asiaddict by Mats!?, one more comic from the online store for all you poor people to think about buying.


Update for 1/31/09

January 31, 2009

New review for Oatmeal II by Henrik Rehr & Lars Horneman, one of those hard to find books that I’m putting up here anyway.  Also, huzzah for one whole month (minus the few days at the start when I was out of town) of constant rambling!   Only 11 more to go…


Update for 1/30/09

January 30, 2009

New review for XO #4 by Brian John Mitchell & Melissa Spence Gardner (scroll down his page to see it), one of those rare comics that is so small that it actually got lost in the pages of another comic in my “to do” pile.


Update for 1/29/09

January 29, 2009

New review for Ogner Stump by Andrew Goldfarb.  No, not THAT Ogner Stump, this is a brand new one.


Update for 1/28/09

January 28, 2009

New review for Punked by Jeffery J. Manley, also available in the store.  Just scroll way down his huge page to get there.  Also, the weather people were finally right and for the first time in 4 years my work has actually been closed due to snow.
