Come on,  look at that and tell me it&#8217;s not funny. The  inside is a little less  funny, but still solid overall. It starts with a  meandering piece  about&#8230; um, his life, and filling up panels. Works a  lot better when  he&#8217;s working on self-reflection than it does when he&#8217;s  commenting on his  inability to fill panels, but that only lasts for a  page. Then you have  a couple of sketchbook pages of his trip to the  dentist, followed by  Baby Floot Poot, a large baby who destroys  everything in its path in  humorous fashion. Over-the-top slapstick, not  really my favorite type of  humor but done pretty well here. Then  there&#8217;s a story about toast and a  couple more random pages, and there&#8217;s  your comic. I liked the ramble in  the start of the book too, as he  said the only reason he did it because  he always liked it when other  people talked about themselves. <a href=\"mailto:spideyjack@hotmail.com\">E-mail him <\/a>to get a copy or   see what else he has, it&#8217;s pretty cheap at $1.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/zine552.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"383\" height=\"606\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Zine 55 #1 OK, I&#8217;ll admit it, I mostly got this comic for the cover.
