Prewitt, Archer – Sof’ Boy and Friends #3
Website (music-related)
Holy crap! A new Sof’ Boy comic! If these individual artist pages could have dust on them, this one would be covered. Scroll up to see my general thoughts about Archer if you’re interested, but I’ll just go ahead and spoil it by saying that he’s one of my favorites, and I had honestly given up hope on his ever putting out another book. It’s been, what 5 years since the last issue? Longer? I just thought he went over completely to making music, so it’s great to see how wrong I was. This one is about Sof’ Boy, a cat, a dog and a big pile of money. The story has never been the important thing about these books, frankly, it’s more about the sheer grotesqueness of the people and the environment combined with the shining, overwhelming purity of Sof’ Boy. Great stuff, as always, and I hope this means that he’s going to be doing more comics now. How about a graphic novel? Click on the title for the website, $4.95.
Prewitt, Archer – Sof’ Boy and Friends #2
Website (music-related)
These are some of those “mood” comics that I talk about from time to time. The perfect time to read this one is when you’re depressed in some way or other and need something to cheer you up. This has, every time, at least for me. It’s basically the adventures of this androgynous blob of white goo that walks around with a smile on his face, no matter what happens to him. I know Archer Prewitt is a busy man (what with his musical career and all, and he’s fast becoming a favorite of mine in that field as well. What do you all think, should I put certain music on here like his too? Or what about James Kochalka’s CDs? Let me know), but the world needs more of these comics. There aren’t enough of them to be put in a graphic novel yet, but you can always buy the individual books, and you very well should.
