No? OK, fine, I&#8217;ll elaborate. This is mostly a series of &#8220;funny&#8221; stories, their length being either a page or half a page, with a few pages of sketchbook material thrown in. It should be pretty well established around here by now that I hate spoilers, so I won&#8217;t say exactly how these strips end, just the pattern. Fair enough? Pissing, head exploding, smashing, smacking, smashing, pissing mistaken for taking a dump. I&#8217;m leaving out the stories dealing with school as they were the funniest of the bunch, if incomprehensible at times and more than a touch derivative of Evan Dorkin. In the afterward Kevin mention the fact that this took him 30 days to put together (probably for a con or something, as those rush jobs rarely look good after the fact), so that&#8217;s sort of an excuse. The bottom line is that there&#8217;s just not a whole lot here to recommend. Maybe #1 was better, maybe future issues picked up on some of the promising bits here and ran with them, but #2 is completely skippable. $3<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/bixtone22.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-mail Bixtone Productions #2 Is &#8220;meh&#8221; an acceptable review?
