However, I got it at SPX this year, so I&#8217;m guessing that means it&#8217;s  still available and the <a href=\"mailto:bainst@etheria.com\">e-mail address<\/a> is current. This  is a pretty fat book for $2, which is another good indication that it&#8217;s  old. There are a bunch of stories in this one, the largest of which is  an argument between two friends about why eating and having sex is just  being a slave to your impulses. It&#8217;s an interesting story that&#8217;s done  well. The second biggest story is the one about the little girl meeting  the aliens, which was entirely too cute to be in a mini comic with  &#8220;adult&#8221; themes. Other than that there were a few short pieces about  chess and a cockroach trying to find enlightenment. Overall it was a  good a hodge-podge of stuff, a nice representation of his work all in  one package, I have to add that he&#8217;s probably gotten better over the  years, which makes me confused as to why I haven&#8217;t seen more of his  stuff. Either that or he&#8217;s disappeared completely and I happened to find  that last issue of his comic in existence, in which case I&#8217;m sorry I  wasted your time with a review.
