Folkomix #1 <\/strong> Now Available<\/a>!\u00c2\u00a0 $.75<\/p>\n

1985!\u00c2\u00a0 That’s when this comic came out.\u00c2\u00a0 The answer to this would probably depress me if I knew it, but how many of you were even alive in 1985?\u00c2\u00a0 Sigh.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway, I picked this to review from the pile of Brad’s comics more or less at random, and he was nice enough to send in a whole bunch of mini comics from the 80’s and early 90’s.\u00c2\u00a0 How well do you know your comics history?\u00c2\u00a0 Were you aware of the recent Fantagraphics collection of minis from the 80’s?\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe you should look into this stuff, get in touch with some small press roots.\u00c2\u00a0 This comic is a response to a critic that apparently told Brad 25 years ago (christ) that he couldn’t draw a fly.\u00c2\u00a0 He made his style as simplistic as possible and drew a comic that is essentially a family portrait of yokels, including the farm animals, tractor and the family sitting down for supper.\u00c2\u00a0 He even threw in some flies on the back cover, just to show that he could, in fact, draw them.\u00c2\u00a0 There will be very many more of these minis gracing these pages soon enough, don’t you worry about that.\u00c2\u00a0 As for this one, it’s short, fairly amusing and cheap.\u00c2\u00a0 There are worse combinations.\u00c2\u00a0 $.75<\/p>\n
