Logjam #3
OK, now that I’ve read all of the Logjams that are available (and a look at the website tells me that there haven’t been any new ones in the six months or so that it took me to review these, which isn’t a good sign), I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the main story here has to deal with a progressive teacher and the fascinating conversations he has with a gifted young student. This issue shows how the town is reacting to having this strange teacher show up, and also has a long conversation about the merits of table tennis. I know that it probably sounds dull, but it really isn’t. It’s obvious that he’s leading up to something here, and the art makes me giddy to look at (although he does use shadows a bit too much here and there. You almost get the impression that he just doesn’t want to draw some of the people, unless I’m just not smart enough to figure out how it all fits into the master plan), so I’m willing to stay along for the ride. Hey, when you go to his website, maybe you should buy a lunchbox. You probably think I’m kidding…
