XXX Live Nude Girls #2: Pretty Like A Princess

Somebody should have told me that this is absolutely not the thing to be reading if you’re depressed. This is probably a book full of fascinating, insightful tales about relationships, and commonality, and screwing people to avoid telling them how you feel, and escaping from your life before it’s too late. To someone going through relationship turmoil, it looks like the whole idea of having a happy, healthy relationship is ridiculous and that we’re all going to end up alone and depressed. Like I said, probably not what it’s really about, but that’s how I’m reading it today. This one is good. If it hurts it’s good for you, right? more expensive than the last one, but it also looks nicer and has a color story in the middle. If you don’t like poetry at all maybe you should avoid this, and if you don’t like thinking about how empty that relationship you’re in might be you should probably stay away too. If you’re not afraid to explore all the possibilities of your world and the people around you, give this book a look. Contact info is above, as always…

XXX Live Nude Girls #1

Hey, this isn’t what the title suggests at all. Seriously though, the toughest thing these two women are probably going to have to deal with is getting people to pick this book up despite the title. I knew about them from various people so I knew what this was when I saw it, but the average comic book geek is going to blush and walk right by this. Then again, they’re probably not going for the average comic book geek. The book is four tales, possibly autobiographical, possibly not, about booze, drugs, sex and rage. They all share a certain sense of despair, past that they’re as different as can be. Insightful stuff about missing smoking and having a former lover serve you at a restaurant, along with some creepy, shadowy art, make up this one. $2.95 and well worth a look. Go to the website for the comic or the one for the publisher, whatever floats your boat.
