Misc. #1

This one is a collection of three stories from various other comics that these two have published. Today is more of a “random grab of a comic to review” day than a “careful search of pile of SPACE comics to see all the stuff I have from individual artists” day, so I can’t tell you much about these two past what I see in here. If I find more in the pile, rest assured, it will be up here too in the next few weeks. I say that because this issue made me want to see more. The first story, visually, is two people meeting and what happens to them during the course of the night, but verbally is some kind of advertising spiel. Works well and looks like these people know what they’re doing, which is why I was curious to see what else they had done. The second story is called Body Shop, about replacing body parts in your later years to spice up your marriage. Didn’t do as much for me, mostly because that concept raises all kinds of questions that weren’t answered because it was a quick parody type of story. Other people probably wouldn’t even notice stuff like that, so don’t mind me if it bugs me slightly. The last story is fantastic. It’s called Templates #1 (which is what lead me to believe that there was more out there) and is an account of the day of two people who are dating, but with descriptions of what they are saying rather than what they are actually saying. Not that I’ve never seen it before, but this was pretty clever. Well worth a couple of bucks, or maybe you could just e-mail them to see what else they have around if you’re looking for a more complete comic experience. As you can tell by the title, this one was meant to be more of a sampling of their work than anything else. Send them money at: Pants Press P.O. Box 10121 Kansas City, MO 64171.
