The Fifty Flip Experiment #25<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aw, Dan’s website (which is delightfully old-timey) has a gif of ladies dancing with sloth heads superimposed over theirs. I’m just going to assume that’s meant as a hello to me, so hi Dan! I also included a rare second sample image because Dan put an ad up for older comics on his back cover, so I want readers with extra time on their hands (I know you’re reading this at work, don’t fib) to go back, read my reviews for those issues, and compare them to how Dan describes them. Do I mention that one thing he mentions? For example, I can’t imagine he did a whole issue (#20) as a Jughead parody, but I’m missing that issue. So it might be true! Ah, that’s enough rambling. I’m paid the big bucks (note: I am paid no bucks) to talk about comics, not to get all self-indulgent and ask readers to compare my reviews to his synopses! This one is part one of a three part series, which should be enough to intrigue\/terrify you right there. As such, this one is a bit more linear than some of his other comics, so this review might be more coherent than usual. Emphasis on “might”! This one starts with a space probe cleaning up space junk, and on the first page it disregards a vacuum cleaner for the sake of a toaster. Is this important to the plot? Always assume that it is! The drone is given a treat for finding the toaster, and we follow our hero back to her home, where we get a quick, high detail tour. She then goes on a tour of the local ruined society and ponders what the life of a local monk must have been like. Any more and I’ll wander into spoilers, so I’ll just say that there is a big old fight scene before the issue is done, so don’t you fret about that. And, as always, his thoughts on the back inside cover are worth the price of admission all by itself. Give it a shot, Dan is the weirdo we need for these troubled times. $7<\/p>\n\n\n\n
