Take-Out #4 Now Available! $1
Back to the time capsule again, as I’m reviewing this mini from 2002 all the way in 2009. She’s gone on to bigger and better things, illustrating adaptations of Baby-Sitters Club (it seems like those were a big deal but I’m not sure), illustrating a book for Slave Labor with Dave Roman and continuing to work on her Smile story. OK fine, she’s moved on (mostly), but it didn’t hurt a thing that her minis were so good back in the day. There are a few shorties in here, my favorite is the one sampled, and I just smile every time I see that strip. Other stories include getting distracted and eating an entire box of Cap’n Crunch, just missing the subway (once by being late, once due to cockroaches), and how humidity makes her hair impossible to deal with. It may sound trite, but trust me, she makes it funny. A really great pile of stories, and I’m honestly a little surprised that there has never been a collection of these minis. Get your copies of the originals while they last, I’m sure that she’ll manage to get all these collected one of these days… $1
