Temporary #1 (Damon with Rick Smith)
How appropriate that on the last day I use Microsoft Frontpage to update the site (if all goes well with the site update, that is) the damned thing crashes and eats my review for this comic. It was great too, the best review I’ve ever written, and now nobody gets to see it! Or it sucked and now I get the chance to make it up. Anyway, this is a comic by two people that I like a whole lot, and it’s about a subject (temping) that I’m very familiar with, having basically done that for many years now, although I have been hired at a place or two in that time. The story here is that a temp gets hired for some data entry and ends up at a place that has people with hollow computers, suicidal workers and people hanging out inside the fax machine. What’s going on? Who are those people? Does it matter as long she gets paid on time? It’s great to start a series with a whole bunch of mysteries, and this one is chock full of them. If you’ve enjoyed Rick’s Shuck series or any of Damon’s work, I can’t see how you wouldn’t like this book. Here’s the website and here’s hoping Frontpage doesn’t eat my review again…
