The whole comic isn&#8217;t like that, the panels are a bit more, um normally spaced the rest of the time and he&#8217;s not trying to tell an epic story in a single page. Just look at that and tell me what&#8217;s going on there, because I have little to no idea. Anyway, this is supposed to be about the whole comic and not just a page, I just wanted to make sure everybody got a good look at it. Bridge Cop is a movie, you see, about a cop who guards bridges (duh) and gets gradually demoted, if I&#8217;m reading the whole thing right. But the story is about the guy who goes to see the movie, as he only watches one movie a year. You also have his friend Groomfiend, some kind of a giant talking mouse that walks on two legs. And Tom Chief, the filmmaker. OK, so the whole thing was kind of all over the place and I&#8217;m still not entirely sure what I just read. So what? I&#8217;ll take that over formulaic crap any day. Here&#8217;s hoping I see more from this guy so I can figure out how I feel about the whole thing. I have to admit that&#8217;s a pretty sweet cover though&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/bridgecop2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website E-mail Bridge Cop Take a look at that sample real quick before I get started.
