Later Alligator
Oh small press comics, never change. I picked this up at Laughing Ogre during a recent visit to Columbus. No contact info in the comic? Sigh, this happens a lot, to the internet! There’s a game on Steam called Later Alligator that takes up all of the search results? Double sigh, OK again, that’s a fairly unique name, let’s just search by that. There’s one result for an Instagram page using that name with no comics imagery visible, but at least the name matches exactly, so try contacting that guy if you’re interested! Once again I plea, to an uncaring universe: if you’d like somebody to be able to buy your comics, MAKE IT EASY ON THEM. So for the rest of you who might be near the Columbus area and might find yourself in Laughing Ogre (who had a couple copies of this left I think as of 6/26), on with the review! Actually, this one is pretty simple. Do you think it’s OK to make a comic purely to get to the punchline that is the title of said comic? If so, you’re in luck! This one is all about an investigator who goes down into the sewer to investigate some strange happenings. He’s looking for a pair of troublemakers who live in the sewers, but when he finds them he sees that they’ve both been shot. One of them is still alive, and with their dying breath they manage to point out the murderer, which is right around where the troubles begin for our investigator. If you’re going to make your entire comic based around one joke at least in this case it’s not a bad joke. If you can find this it’s worth a look, but honestly, if you’re not in the Columbus area, good luck with that. $5
