Turtleneck Boy #6
Well, technically you could say that Suzanne is mostly just the editor of this comic, but you know what I mean by that header. Hey, you could be in the next issue of this if you wanted: make a 1-4 page comic (sized to fit in a mini), and include Turtleneck Boy in it. Everything else in the story is up to you, and Suzanne puts these out approximately every time she gets enough stories to do so, so why not make a tiny comic and send it to her? It’s not like the art has to be immaculate or anything, as at least two of the stories in here were very minimalistic. So how about the stories? Suzanne has that awesome cover (I like her back cover even better, but I’m not giving it all away for free here) and a couple of short pieces in back, neither of which have Turtleneck Boy in them. Is that legal, to skip the requirements for your comic if you’re the editor? As far as I know there are no police for such matters, so it is apparently allowed. Other pieces include Erich Sundermann with TB’s (I’m shortening it from now on) depression, Brien Wayne Powell with a cranky TB, Todd Swanson with a slightly more hopeful take on the character, and Aaron Trudgeon has a meandering piece that wanders into all sorts of things in a few short pages. It’s a pretty good mix up pieces, although I am struck by the fact that I didn’t get anything that was JUST from Suzanne at SPACE this year. That’s what I get for only stopping briefly and asking for her new comics instead of my usual leisurely browsing. $1
