Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I like Gabagool a lot, it&#8217;s just that his work on Cabaret is a lot more quiet and reflective. More stories about people and less mayhem and humor. This could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending completely on your mood. This comic is made up of two main stories and a short one on the back cover. The first is a wordless story about a day in the life of Mike. It&#8217;s wordless and it&#8217;s the portrayal of a quiet, average day, except for the part when he shoves something up his cat&#8217;s butt. Hey, I&#8217;m going with it being some kind of legitimate medical procedure, or he&#8217;s just created a new level for self-disclosure in autobio. The second is the story of a conversation between Mike and some friends that follows his friend Steve as he attends a protest to hang out with a girl he&#8217;s interested in. As far as I&#8217;m concerned this guy can do it all. He nails funny stuff in Gabagool and he quietly examines loneliness and the motives of humanity in general in Cabaret.
