Time Warp Comix #2 Now Available! $.75

I hope nobody out there is trying to read these reviews sequentially.  Once again, I read them way, way out of order, although now that only #3 is left to review I will be reading #2 and 3 in order.  Whoopee!  This time around the comic is half one-page pictures, meaning no story of any kind for those bits.  In order, for the curious, those are an interpretive blot by Bill Shut, something utterly fantastic by M. Roden, a real mystery by… somebody (seriously, is there no space for some sort of tiny table of contents?), and a monkey with Frida Kahlos by Jim Siergey.  You could take those or leave those (although I particularly enjoyed the Frida Kahlos), but then there’s still the comic story to consider, and it’s fantastic.  It’s a three page tale by D. Miller about a burned-out artist trying to come up with fresh gags for a magazine about tits, dicks and balls.  Comic versions of tits, dicks and balls anyway, and this artist is at the end of his rope in terms of being able to come up with anything else remotely funny.  It’s a great piece and makes the whole comic damned near unmissable.  Check it out, or go nuts and just get a pile of these cheap things.
