Most of the stories in here are a bit more nuanced, although there is a bit of fecal humor if that&#8217;s your thing. This starts off a bit awkwardly with one page stories dealing with the tedium of work, brushing too hard, a dead ex and the medical effects of nicotine and caffeine, but Brad quickly builds a rhythm here once he gets to the longer pieces. In those he gets to tell us about the night before an extended period of abstinence (with more than a few of the gory details left to the imagination), crapping in a nasty toilet and having two car accidents happen right in front of him in a matter of days. It&#8217;s an interesting read, which is all you can ask for with these sorts of things, and Brad was nice enough to send a few more issues along, so I&#8217;ll be making a more informed opinion later. As for now, while there may not be a whole lot to separate it from most other autobio stuff, it&#8217;s done well and it&#8217;s cheap, with a bit of room for improvement. $1<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/mundane12.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"0\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Epic Tales of the Mundane #1 Brad certainly goes with truth and advertising here with that excellent title, although I think he sells himself a bit short with that sample image.
