Sugar & Spite #1
Ah, pseudonyms. As a man who goes mostly by “Whitey”, I am familiar with them. But they do wreak havoc with my orderly “Author Index”… Anyway, the comic is basically a kids book with enough thoughtful humor to keep the interest of most adults. It’s about two five year old girls, one who’s a bit too much into goth (again, at the age of five) and another who wants to be a super hero. There’s a story about an autopsy on a pumpkin, one about a game of hide and seek, and another basically just setting up the characters. The art’s adorable, the story is adorable… everything is so adorable that I’m going to have to play Grand Theft Auto for a few hours just to put myself back on an even keel. Worth a look if you’re a parent or if you have a hard time finding intelligent, cute comics. Check out the website, it looks like she’s taking a break from comics for a while…
