Untitled (2024)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, I was VERY tempted to call this “Oh Peas and Carrots,” but I doubt very much that that’s actually the title of this mini. Which led me to conclude that there probably wasn’t a title at all, so here we are! This is a delightful comic, which folds out to show different excuses for calling in sick for every day of the week. I doubt very much that any of them would work in a practical sense, but they were funny, and hey, if you’re on your way out at your job anyway, try a few of these out to see what happens! There’s also a recipe for hot dog sauerkraut casserole, which sounds horrific to me because I can’t stand sauerkraut, but honestly? The rest of it sounds pretty damned good. Which overall makes this comic pretty practical, right? Excuses for getting out of work and a workable recipe. His art style reminds me slightly of Max Clotfelter, mostly because of those densely penciled black backgrounds, but Max still has a leg up on him for sheer sordidness (which I mean in the best possible way). I managed to grab a few more of Glenn’s comics at the con and it doesn’t look like any of them have a title, so it’ll be fun trying to keep these all straight in the weeks ahead. Oh well, reviewer problems, I guess. One comic in from the guy and I’m intrigued, so check this out if you get the chance. $2 maybe? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
