For those of you who may be confused, well, obviously I&#8217;m joking. Even the worst of the books like this are still about people honestly examining their feelings and their surroundings, and there&#8217;s just not enough of that going around in the world. This book absolutely defies scanning, as you can see from the sample I have down there. There are a couple of wordless comics in here. One is about a list of everyday things, with a sad disembodied head floating through the motions of a day. I liked it; it rang true for me. Then there&#8217;s another bit about a jazz player and he Austin has a great way of communicating music through comics. Then of course there&#8217;s poetry and observations here and there, mostly in the middle of the book, with various pictures, hence &#8220;comics&#8221;. I liked it. His art has a casual, doodly charm that&#8217;s hard to resist. It&#8217;s $2 if you&#8217;re interested, (plus $1 for shipping, which I haven&#8217;t been mentioning on too many pages, but most people would appreciate it, and you already know that, so I&#8217;ll stop now).
