Granted, it&#8217;s called a doodle comic right there on the cover, so it shouldn&#8217;t come as a shock to anyone. This is about a&#8230; creature of some kind telling a story to other creatures, all silent but with word balloons filled with images. The man in the story sees a shining object on top of a hill and seeks to attain it, which would have disastrous consequences. It&#8217;s a nice little story, but the highlight here is how busy the art is. The center spread, where the man in the story first sees a throng of creatures, all talking amongst themselves, has to be seen to be believed. I&#8217;m still not sure what the vast majority of them are talking about, as a lot of the images in the word balloons flew right over my head, but the images alone are worth the price of admission. If you&#8217;re picked up any of the other damned near countless minis Tom has put out over the year, this is an excellent companion piece, as you&#8217;re rarely going to see such unbridled creativity from anybody as you see from him here.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/neptoons2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Neptoons Now Available! $2 This book is one short barely contained doodle.
