Newtown P.D. #2<\/strong><\/p>\n

This poor guy was stuck at one of the corner tables at SPACE, so I doubt that many people even got back to talk to him. He’s a cop, and this is a comic about things that have happened to him on the job. He told me that it’s all true, and nothing is really that outrageous to lead me believe otherwise. The art reminds me of early Hepcats stuff, but I think he’s using some kind of computer program for the art (Microsoft Paint is about all I know of, but I’m sure there are plenty of them) because everything looks kind of smudged. Not messy, as everything still looks pretty good if you don’t examine it too closely… you know, like computer generated characters in movies. Anyway, the highlight of this book is definitely the writing. Realistic, funny stories told from a cop’s perspective, along with a rant here and there begging people to make sure that they have an actual problem before they call the police. It’s an engaging book, and also encouraging to know that not all cops are like the ones that pull me over for speeding. Here’s hoping that he keeps this up. Send him a few bucks at: P.O. Box 92 Campbell, OH 44405.<\/p>\n
