For that matter, what makes a bad one?  Honestly, the people I&#8217;ve seen who get around to drawing a comic about  every day of their lives generally see things about their days that most  people miss, making their comics important for everybody to read.  That&#8217;s the case with Clutch. Greig doesn&#8217;t do much, really, unless you  focus on the little things, in which case he&#8217;s busy all the time. I got  the first three issues of Clutch and thought that #2 was the strongest,  probably because it was the biggest one and it all just seemed so fresh.  #3 started to feel a bit repetitive to me, honestly, but it was still  worth reading, especially because it starts right after #2 ends, so you  can follow every day of his life. #1 was different in that it was more  of a joke strip. Some of them were extremely funny and all of them were  at least worth reading, even if the art looked awful at times. Anyway,  I&#8217;m supposed to be writing about this issue, right? It&#8217;s 40 days in the  life of Greig, from 8\/30\/01 to 10\/8\/01. There are a couple of profound  comments about 9\/11, but it isn&#8217;t talked about that much. Get these as  they come out, that&#8217;s my advice to you. He&#8217;s got a great sense of humor  and he seems dedicated, which are both great things to support in the  comics world. Send him money (you can send him $5 and some postage and  get all three issues) at: P.O. Box 12409 Portland, OR 97212.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/clutch22.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"589\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clutch #2 What makes a good diary comic?
