This one isn&#8217;t all gags; far from it. It&#8217;s the story of a cast of characters, all 20-somethings: an &#8220;aspiring&#8221; writer, his female friend, her slutty roommate, a token indie rocker guy and an asshole friend. Oh, and the title of the ongoing story throughout is &#8220;Today is the day I wish they would hold a parade in my name&#8221;, which is a thing of beauty all by itself. The female lead, Frieda, takes great joy in smacking somebody back to reality when there&#8217;s any danger of things getting heavy or profound, which just makes me smile after reading so many comics that really and truly want to tell me something. It&#8217;s nice to read something occasionally that just is what it is. Oh, and the writing and art are both terrific, which makes exactly zero things I have a problem with here. $3<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/suckerpunch12.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Sucker Punch #1 Now Available! $3 Oh yeah, comics can be funny.
