It&#8217;s all the stories from the SPX  anthologies, the 24 hour comic I reviewed above, a few pages from the  comic over the years, and a story from something called Box Office Kolor  Karnival. That last one was the best of the bunch. It was a longer  story about Stephen and Jan (and the return of an old girlfriend), and  Davie Shermans getting promoted and dealing with his new  responsibilities. There aren&#8217;t many people out there doing comics who  have a better ear for dialogue than Alex, so anything that&#8217;s new to me  is welcome. Altogether, it&#8217;s probably new to most people, unless they&#8217;re  all as obsessive about getting the SPX anthologies as I am. There&#8217;s  also a tiny, tiny preview of his new work, Tricked, at the end of the  book. He picked a great scene, where Clarice, a waitress, has an  ex-boyfriend come into her restaurant with his new girlfriend. Get to  work on that book, Alex! Just in case he&#8217;s paying attention. Contact  info is up there, in case the Amazon link doesn&#8217;t work, as the new ones  are kind of sketchy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/bop2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"416\" height=\"645\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website BOP!
