Black Ghost Apple Factory<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

If there’s one downside to doing this website, it’s that it makes me a bit too passive in finding comics for myself.\u00c2\u00a0 Generally speaking (or at least before I started doing reviews every single day), I’m lucky to just keep up with all the stuff I get through the mail and at cons, so I don’t go out and find work from people I’ve been hearing about through the years.\u00c2\u00a0 Jeremy is one of those people who slipped through the cracks for ages, and it’s a damned shame, as this book (collecting his minis from 2004-2006) is brilliant.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a collection of short pieces, and there isn’t a weak one in the bunch.\u00c2\u00a0 It starts with the title story, a hopeful love story as well as an instructional tale about how apples are made.\u00c2\u00a0 Following this is a story about an asshole robot (that’s just how he was programmed) and the heart of the book: It’s Spring, And Jeremy Tinder Is Secretly In Love With You.\u00c2\u00a0 Everybody who has ever had a crush or who loves everybody a bit too much can relate, as Jeremy honestly lays out his feelings for one woman in particular (even though he freely admits to having feelings for several), describes how it’s really not a creepy thing that he thinks about her all the time, lists her options and begs her to be gentle with his heart and just be honest.\u00c2\u00a0 Honestly, the whole book could have ended there and I would be floating on air, but wait, there’s more!\u00c2\u00a0 Jeremy (who, from the way he draws himself, apparently looks like Gilligan) wakes a bear up from his hibernation, attempts to introduce it into the ways of society, and meets a gruesome end. Um, spoiler alert!\u00c2\u00a0 Then there’s a shortie about a rabbit who seems to have a remarkably fulfilling life, but wishes only for sleep so he can dream about crying.\u00c2\u00a0 Next there’s the story of a kitty who gets a brutal education in the meaning of the term “getting fixed”.\u00c2\u00a0 Finally there’s the seemingly heartwarming tale of an elephant and a girl having a picnic and spending the night together outdoors.\u00c2\u00a0 Like I said, this is brilliant all the way through, and now I’m going to have to go back and get whatever I missed from this guy.\u00c2\u00a0 $5<\/p>\n
