Well, I&#8217;m going  to say it again. This is a meandering tale about Jack going to a  wildlife refuge. It&#8217;s a bit weak right off the bat. He does mention he  did a large part of this without even thinking about publishing it, and  it shows. Luckily for all of us the book changes completely once he gets  out in the wild. It&#8217;s just him remarking on little things that are  happening, and it&#8217;s really a great piece of work. There&#8217;s not really  much of an ending here, which suits the book just fine. There&#8217;s a  complete lack of pretension here that saves the book. It would be easy  for him to go out there and make all kinds of pithy comments, but  instead he just goes out there and draws stuff, while making a few  asides. Well worth a buck. Contact info is up there, as far as I can  tell most of his comics are only $1, so you could probably get a chunk  of them if you sent him a five or something&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/lifelike2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"385\" height=\"606\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Life-Like Tales #1 Did I say the word &#8220;meandering&#8221; in the last review?
