You have a man telling  the story of the life he would like to live (my favorite in the bunch,  it involves him living in hotels and having sex with the fattest  prostitutes he can find after his band plays), a man who floats, an  agnostic dog, a sheep with an identity crisis, a lighthouse named Eric,  and two men who are on very different life paths. All kinds of great  stuff in here and this is well worth checking out, especially for  anybody who&#8217;s read all the Mr. Pleebus stuff and thinks they know what  Nick is all about. Send the man an <a href=\"mailto:risingtroutpress@yahoo.co.uk\">e-mail<\/a> and see what  other things he&#8217;s done. Oh, I should also mention that these are all  from the early to mid 90&#8217;s, so I&#8217;m not sure where his focus is these  days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Sunspots Before I say anything at all about this comic, I want you to look up at the other work of his I had read, The Amazing Mr. Pleebus.
