What&#8217;s that you say? Everybody stopped making websites several years ago, and I&#8217;m probably shouting into the void on my review website? Ok, that&#8217;s grim. Fair, but grim. This is a collection of mostly short strips, and more than a few of them can be found on John&#8217;s Instagram page. Or at least parts of them can, if you&#8217;re good with just a taste. You can&#8217;t order his comics through that page, but I did include his email address up there, so just use that. He didn&#8217;t include a price, so I&#8217;ll take a guess. Hm, nice heft to the book. Taller than the usual mini, maybe a little thicker too. I&#8217;m guessing&#8230; $6! If anybody orders a book from the man, get back to me and tell me how close I was. How about that comic? As is always the case with a collection of strips, some were funnier than others, and some of these were more than a little disturbing. So if you&#8217;re looking for Garfield level yuks, his comic probably isn&#8217;t the place to go. But neither is literally anything else I&#8217;ve ever reviewed over almost 20 years, so you&#8217;re really in the wrong place. This is always a dicey way to describe strips, but subjects include a ghost hunter who gets a response, a brief encounter with a laughing priest, whether or not it&#8217;s all worth it, an explorer who took a real risk, Eric, quality masonry, the services provided by a young priest, the creation of a younger brother, the academic life of Columbus, and traffic control. There&#8217;s also a longer strip about an abduction\/robbery that goes wrong, but I&#8217;m not going to talk about that one. I liked the vast majority of the strips in this one, so yes, I think that means that it&#8217;s worth checking out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"792\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_20210124_0004-792x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_20210124_0004-792x1024.jpg 792w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_20210124_0004-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_20210124_0004-768x993.jpg 768w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_20210124_0004-1188x1536.jpg 1188w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_20210124_0004-1585x2048.jpg 1585w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_20210124_0004-193x250.jpg 193w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_20210124_0004-135x175.jpg 135w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_20210124_0004-29x38.jpg 29w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_20210124_0004-166x215.jpg 166w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_20210124_0004.jpg 1925w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website (Instagram, anyway) Email Pisser!
