It doesn&#8217;t happen often, but I honestly believe that I could have sampled anything in here (with the possible exception of a page in the long story here, just because it wouldn&#8217;t make much sense out of context) and it would show you just how incredible this is. More disappearing phrases, a sampling of some daily strips that he did, a story about the dangers of sloth and an old remedy for the flu called Police Bottle. I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m legally allowed to call art &#8220;quaint&#8221; without sounding like a jackass, but that&#8217;s the best that I can come up with for this. Also, every single panel in here has plenty going on. No lazy drawings of people living in a vacuum so the strip is easier to draw, there&#8217;s all kinds of detail here, the kind of stuff that&#8217;s more rewarding each time you look at it. Kudos all around on this one, I don&#8217;t have a bad thing to say about it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/bushels2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Bushels of Coalsmoke A welcome problem to have when I&#8217;m trying to pick a sample from a comic is having something be worth showing on every page.
