Must have taken a while to put together, but it looks great.  The story is a short tale about a very simple concept: a square peg  trying to fit in a round hole. Didn&#8217;t think something like that could be  turned into a funny moral fable, but what the hell do I know? The  square peg is laughed at so he tries to change himself to fit in, only  to discover that he can&#8217;t change who he is. It&#8217;s a wordless story and  the first part to a larger thing (it looks like), so I&#8217;m not going to  give too much away, but it&#8217;s cute and it&#8217;s funny, even if that&#8217;s a  little hard to tell with my crappy scanner. Any time you can end a comic  with a square peg falling into a drunken stupor, you know you&#8217;ve done  something right. <a href=\"mailto:sakbaum@yahoo.com\">E-mail the guy<\/a> to get a copy and  see when more is coming out, OK?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/pegs2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"691\" height=\"345\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-mail Pegs #1 The cover isn&#8217;t quite as psychedelic as it looks, but it is a blue felt cover.
