Was I expecting something autobiographical after seeing that title? Reader, you know I was, but this is actually a dream comic. Scott sent along a big bundle of his comics (21 issues I think?) in this series, and they’re arranged by theme. The first five issues are dream comics, but what am I going to do, NOT review the first issue in the series? Madness. Maybe it would have made more sense to review the first five issues as a chunk, but I’m committed to this one now, so maybe don’t be shocked if the next four issues are a bundled review. Trivial information for people who didn’t ask! Scott does dream-like comics very well, and this issue is no exception. Forms are constantly splitting and merging, perspective changes, reality is in doubt, and there’s a general sense of wondering what you just read after finishing it. I mean that in the best possible sense! Trying to describe any kind of dream comic is a fool’s errand, but I’m just that kind of fool. Things start off with a gorgeous sequence of images attempting to coalesce into a theme before finally settling on driving down a highway towards a town named Rapunzel. The car shifts into him being one (or two) stray dogs who had to sing for their supper, which is what he had always been. Their supper was lettuce, which was guarded by witches flying kites. Of course, he never was a dog, which he also figures out eventually. There’s more, but I think you get the general sense of it, and I don’t want to spoil even a dream. More to come, so I’ll have a more informed opinion as I go, but this was intriguing and I’m curious to see more comics in this series. So far I’m only seeing this for sale as a bundle of the first five issues for $25.
