The close ups on the faces in the early stories were creepy as hell and I thought he did an incredible job of illustrating the futility of daily existence and trying to fit in with people who are &#8220;out having fun&#8221;. My main problem is that some of his stories of things he had seen and heard were downright dull, which I guess is just the point he was trying to establish. Another problem I had with the book were the sketchbook pages, and I only had a problem there because there was a drastic drop in quality from the rest of the book. The stories were about as good, the art wasn&#8217;t. Other than that, fans of Ivan Brunetti rejoice, as all this guy needs is a loveless marriage to become equally miserable. Stories in here include Blind People Make Me Nervous, The Disquiet Is Deafening, The Kiss (one of the more disturbingly realistic stories I&#8217;ve seen in a while), Don&#8217;t Fuckin&#8217; Touch Me!!! and a comic he did for his Granny. <a href=\"mailto:crashofmetal@hotmail.com\">E-mail him<\/a> to see if he&#8217;s still OK, or just where to send a couple of bucks, as this is one fucked up comic that shouldn&#8217;t be missed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/crash02.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"637\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-mail The Crash of Metal #0 I should point out right away that I liked this comic.
