Santos Sisters Fun Special #1<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just so you know, this comic is so brand new (I’m guessing) that it isn’t even for sale on their website yet, but the title goes to a link to their store regardless. It’ll be there soon! This issue is a departure from the norm from Greg and Fake. Issues of their regular series usually have several stories, fake ads, and assorted other random goodies. This one seems to have a clear goal: for the team (and the legendary Bob Burden, creator of Flaming Carrot) to have fun with it. And hey, we get to go along for the ride! Things start off with a drug bust (involving the be-tracksuited villains from the cover and a baby with a long grey beard), but after they take those villains down they decide to look around for the possibly mythical jewels that are supposedly hidden in the house. There’s the hunt, a ghost, and finally a mysterious green hand that drags them down to the Land of Nod, which is where the Flaming Carrot is hanging out! I thought the title was a reference to the old Jay Stephens series of the same name, but nope. It’s at least a tribute, seeing as how Bob mentions Jay in his afterward. Oh, and the Flaming Carrot? He mostly hasn’t been around for ages, but he’s one of the best absurdist “heroes” of the 80’s and 90’s. Yes, there were several! Oops, sidetracked again. Anyway, after the sisters look him up on their phone (like I said, he’s been out of the picture for awhile), the Tin Man shows up, a little gnome creature (unfortunately for him) is just the right height to get the attention of the sisters by grabbing a butt, which leads to a confrontation, which leads to… OK, I’m describing too much. It’s a hoot, there’s a fantastic ending, Bob gets to write a solid afterward, and they even sketched some stuff in the open panels on the back cover. If this is purely a convention comic, go track them down! If you look at their website you’ll see that they’re going to be all over in the next few months. Including Columbus Ohio the day after my birthday? Hm, I might have to figure out a way to make that trip work. But yeah, it’s another issue of Santos Sisters, of course it’s worth checking out. No price listed, but it’s hefty. $7?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
