Well, I think this book is brilliant. So much so  that I wonder if reading the previous book again would give me a better  opinion of it, although I&#8217;ll have to get settled and have all my comics  out of boxes to tell you for sure. Graham&#8217;s art is deceptively simple,  but there&#8217;s plenty going on in every panel. I&#8217;m breaking with tradition  here slightly to give you two samples. It&#8217;s two pages in a row, so I  hope I&#8217;m not breaking any unwritten rules here, but follow the character  on the far right of the panel. He&#8217;s trying to get to a party, see, but  the only way to get there is through a friend of a friend who makes this  other guy want to kill people. The beauty of this book is in the facial  expressions of the characters. I don&#8217;t know how he conveys so much with  so little, but it works. In this story you have a precocious cat who  wanders into some genuinely heart-wrenching conversations, Billy Joel  trying to kill a wombat, a hacking cough and a quack, and a couple of  other short pieces. I think I said the other book was a bit pricey for  what it was, but with this one (priced the same at $14.95) I have to say  that you&#8217;re getting a deal. Check it out, if you don&#8217;t already know who  this guy is, and tell your friends if you do, because everybody could  use some more funny in their lives. Oh, and sorry about the corners of  the samples, but you try scanning a graphic novel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/furthergrickle2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"712\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/furthergrickle3.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"700\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Further Grickle Cripes, I think the review up there was one of the first things I did for this website and here it is, 3\/22\/04, and I finally got something else to comment on.
