I’ve decided: for certain artists, I’m going to be as hypocritical as possible and decide that spelling errors are OK.\u00c2\u00a0 I know, I bitch about it all the time for most every person on this site (at least the ones who always screw it up), but Pat gets a pass.\u00c2\u00a0 Why?\u00c2\u00a0 Hm.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, there’s just something hilarious about a story predicated on the notion of a lack of oscillation of a fan where the author can’t even spell “oscillation” correctly.\u00c2\u00a0 Not that it’s an easy word, but simply typing a variation of the word into the Google will get you the correct answer.\u00c2\u00a0 He actually started off the story wrong and shifted to the correct spelling towards the end, like somebody told him the correct spelling and he couldn’t be bothered to fix the earlier errors.\u00c2\u00a0 In a book that is artistically his best book yet, I choose to be be amused instead of shaking my head in despair.\u00c2\u00a0 Hey, progress!\u00c2\u00a0 Not that that lets the rest of you off the hook, and this hypocrisy might go away entirely for the next Aulisio book.\u00c2\u00a0 So anyway, how about this comic?\u00c2\u00a0 It’s huge, magazine-sized (and yet still considered a mini comic), and there’s even a burst in the middle when we get to see his artwork in glorious color.\u00c2\u00a0 Jogger (who you might remember from at least one older Aulisio book) is perfectly content to sit in his room with his fan.\u00c2\u00a0 Suddenly it stops oscillating, and he travels throughout the world to find a way to fix this problem.\u00c2\u00a0 Along the way he crosses over the outer barrier, wanders silently through some thoroughly bizarre landscape, gets a cube from the King of Cubes (useless to solve his problem, but hey, he did ask the King of Cubes for help), calls a friend and is informed that he was given a very special cube, uses said cube to stop a whirling vortex by transferring this vortex directly into his brain, goes into a negative space, and meets up with the King of Crystals.\u00c2\u00a0 Can you guess how he tries to help Jogger?\u00c2\u00a0 There are long stretches of silence in this book, but he’s found a happy medium between silent comics and, um, talkies with this one.\u00c2\u00a0 Those wide vistas of utter chaos are needed to help rein in the more casual conversation.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s no price, but a book with color involved that’s this huge has to be at least $5.<\/p>\n
