the level of  detail is just that great.\u00c2\u00a0 This sample should convince you, if it  doesn&#8217;t there are more at that website linked above, but you should know  that it isn&#8217;t a proper website, more of a showcase for art from the  comic.\u00c2\u00a0 $5<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/daucus2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"daucus2\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/daucus2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"646\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website E-mail Daucus Carota Note to aspiring comic artists: please don&#8217;t take four years drawing, re-drawing and re-re-drawing your comic before putting it out.\u00c2\u00a0 Sure, you may end up with something that looks as incredible as this book, but at the end of the day you&#8217;ve spent four years on a mini comic when your [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[3537,644],"class_list":["post-12967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-brandon-berry","tag-daucus-carota"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12967"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12967\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12970,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12967\/revisions\/12970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
