Thom Ferrier is a Lover of the Great Outdoors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you, o random submissions, as this stuff would be in serious danger of getting repetitive if it wasn’t for them. This is a short but interesting take on travel comics, as you might have guessed from that cover.\u00c2\u00a0 This one contains a three short pieces and each made me chuckle, which has to be a record of some kind.\u00c2\u00a0 First of is Thom and friends going through a bunch of American National Parks, but he only documents their interactions with the various guards.\u00c2\u00a0 Believe me, bit of it are funnier than you’d think.\u00c2\u00a0 Then there’s the grab bag page featuring overly aggressive RV names and me realizing that I don’t know what a “cold frame” is and why a kid would be dropping bricks through it.\u00c2\u00a0 Have I mentioned that Thom is in Wales?\u00c2\u00a0 Finally there’s a fantastic piece about a man who has made it to top of a peak seemingly just so he can yell obscenities at the world.\u00c2\u00a0 Generally I would never scan the last page of a story, but as this was only two pages, is available on his website anyway and is hilarious, I figured it would be OK.\u00c2\u00a0 Plenty of other free comics are on his site too, and I really love the layout, so you should maybe poke around there for a bit more info on his general comic sensibilities.\u00c2\u00a0 No price, and this is so small that it’s not even listed on his website, but I’d say maybe $2.<\/p>\n
