I picked this one because it looked like one of the few that I could review in a short time, as I&#8217;m here on my lunch hour and all. After reading it I discovered that it was one of the more original and unique things that I&#8217;ve read, making it hard to sum up in a few lines. The closest thing I can compare it to would be Jim Woodring&#8217;s Frank, which is what I always compare things to when I&#8217;m at a loss for words. It&#8217;s funny, it&#8217;s odd, it looks great, and you&#8217;re not going to understand a lot of what&#8217;s going on but will still come away feeling strangely satisfied. Sometimes the stories seem normal enough (like the first story about a man having a rough day) before veering off into insanity, sometimes they don&#8217;t make much sense to begin with and are over before you know what happened (like Silent Running), and sometimes you have a story like Pink Blazer, which defies all words that I know. Check it out, let yourself go, and keep your mind open.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/diplomat42.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"395\" height=\"615\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website The Diplomat #4 (Chris Cilla only) Well, I have a dilemna.
