There&#8217;s one story about a half-man, half-alligator thing and one about a young boy discovering death. In between there are some pin-ups and a lot of newspaper clippings. I&#8217;m guessing that these stories are real. If they are, they&#8217;re kind of like the stuff from News of the Weird, but just the really disturbing death and cannibalism type stuff. Funny but slightly macabre, and when&#8217;s the last time I&#8217;ve used that word twice on one page? I liked his Almost Normal Comics, and I probably would have liked his other stuff too if I wasn&#8217;t so squeamish. Regardless of what I think, the fact remains that the guy&#8217;s an incredibly talented artist who also knows how to tell a story. Who knows, if he keeps this up he could start to fill the hole that EC comics left a long time ago. I&#8217;ll definitely be checking out his stuff in the future, but I&#8217;ll be sticking to the Almost Normal stuff and staying away from the Tale Teller stuff. Again, check his <a href=\"http:\/\/members.tripod.com\/almostnormalcomics\/index.htm\">website<\/a> to see for yourself.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/almost12.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"401\" height=\"602\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Almost Normal Comics #1 This comic, while being more than a little bit creepy, is something that I would recommend to friends.
