I swear, you&#8217;d think people would make their books with me in mind, hoping to easily categorize them. This is another good one, and it&#8217;s all by John. It&#8217;s the short story of his bike getting stolen, and the army of children he recruited in the hopes of getting it back&#8230; before realizing that he&#8217;d created a monster. Dramatic noise! Seriously, I love the smell of this book, and that&#8217;s not something I can say about too many of these. It&#8217;s printed on construction paper and it just has that early grade school type of smell to it. I say a lot of random things on this page, I&#8217;m aware of that, but I have the feeling that everybody will be able to get what I&#8217;m talking about with that reference. The art is gorgeous (my scanner doesn&#8217;t really do it justice) and I have no idea how he does it without hand-painting every issue. Silk screening, maybe? Whatever the case, it&#8217;s short, but it looks (and smells!) great. $3, contact info is up there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/paping92.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"297\" height=\"396\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website\u00c2\u00a0(down as of 4\/2\/10, no other info) Paping #9 Sometimes it&#8217;s an anthology, sometimes it&#8217;s a regular comic book.
