Sketches of faces, conversations, the odd butt here and there, a barely heard conversation. It&#8217;s a fascinating wordless little book, but it&#8217;s sloppy as can be (as it is all taken from a sketchbook, probably in a darkened bar) and probably not that great of a book taken on its own. Taken as part of the greater whole of Shiot Crock though, it&#8217;s a great addition. It&#8217;s possible that that doesn&#8217;t make any sense at all, but believe me, it&#8217;s all perfectly clear in my head. I&#8217;d like to see something by Shane that wasn&#8217;t done in a sketchbook, just to check out a less sketchy version of his art.  So what&#8217;s the conclusion to all this rambling? So-so book on its own, unless you&#8217;re a real big fan of sketch art, but it complements the greater anthology that is Shiot Crock quite nicely&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/scenes2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website E-mail Scenes From Gay Bars Here&#8217;s another of the Shiot Crock #11 comics (found around here somewhere in the forums), and I&#8217;m still not sure if I should review them completely as their own separate comics or as part of a larger whole.This one is, as that title might indicate, scenes from a gay [&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":[694,3564],"class_list":["post-13010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-scenes-from-gay-bars","tag-shane-patrick-boyle"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13010","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=13010"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13010\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13014,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13010\/revisions\/13014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
