(because apparently he couldn&#8217;t legally say Twilight Zone) and confronting an evil cat.\u00c2\u00a0 This piece has more geek references in it than you could shake that proverbial stick at.\u00c2\u00a0 Go ahead, read it and see!\u00c2\u00a0 Bonus points if you get them all, or should I say shame points, as that would confirm you as a total geek.\u00c2\u00a0 Other stories in here include the two of them going camping, bowling, playing matrix frisbee and discussing the true origins of the earth.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a bit &#8220;inside baseball&#8221; as it were, but Brian also wins the prize for &#8220;mailing most likely to survive a nuclear explosion&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 One thing about his comics, they always get here wrapped in a ball of tape so thick that I have to cut into the package o&#8217; comics (hoping that I don&#8217;t chop anything vital), and when I get inside they&#8217;re usually wrapped in three layers of bubble tape.\u00c2\u00a0 It&#8217;s a good precaution, as my mail carrier usually takes &#8220;do not bend&#8221; warnings as a personal challenge, but maybe one less layer of everything the next time around?\u00c2\u00a0 Sure, you could call that rambling that is utterly disconnected to the comic being reviewed, and you&#8217;d be right, but it&#8217;s good to know for people who are going to be sending in comics, and they might be reading this, right?\u00c2\u00a0 Right.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway, there are more than enough funny bits in here to make this worthwhile and really, kudos again on that cover.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh, and I know this should be down at the bottom of the page with his other full color special, but do you know how big this entire page is at this point?\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m going to have to change the format of how pages are done one of these days purely because Brian makes so many comics.\u00c2\u00a0 $5<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/zeekcolor22.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"zeekcolor22\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/zeekcolor22.jpg\" alt=\"zeekcolor22\" width=\"418\" height=\"567\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Zeek the Martian Geek Full Color Special #2 Now Available!\u00c2\u00a0 $5 First things first: that is one fantastic cover.\u00c2\u00a0 Seriously, just sit back and enjoy that for a second.\u00c2\u00a0 As for the rest of the comic, yes, there were plenty of funny bits this time around.\u00c2\u00a0 The main story in here is a long [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[2606,2605,797],"class_list":["post-8720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-brian-cattapan","tag-full-color-special","tag-zeek-the-martian-geek"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8720"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8720\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8735,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8720\/revisions\/8735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
