Micrographica<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Only Renee French could take a story about a ball of crap, a dead guy, a
\nsandwich and some tiny rodents and make it into a thing of beauty.
\nApparently these images were done first in an online strip and in a much
\ntinier format, so if you’re looking for her usual gorgeous level of
\ndetail, you’re going to be disappointed. Still, I don’t know about you,
\nbut I go to Renee French for her writing much more than her drawing,
\nbecause the mind on that woman is unmatched by anybody I’ve ever known
\nor read. The story begins with Preston finding a tiny ball of crap, who
\nshows it to his friend Moe, who immediately takes credit for it. They
\nleave the crapball with Aldo, an even tinier rodent who seems obsessed
\nwith the thing, as they go off exploring. This leads them to what
\nappears to be a dead body (or at least I hope it was dead as Moe was
\ncrawling around in its eyeball), while Aldo finally cracks the crapball
\nopen and we get to see what’s inside. I can go through the whole story
\nhere, but why bother? Chances are you know already if Renee is somebody
\nwhose work you like, and if she is I can’t imagine this description
\nwould lead you away from checking this out. She also has a crap gallery
\nin the back, featuring crap drawing from such luminaries as Jim
\nWoodring, Dylan Williams and Penn Jillette. There’s also a nice blurb
\nfrom Jenna Fischer from The Office (NBC version), and it always makes me
\nhappy when vaguely famous people push work like this, as this is the
\nsort of thing that should be read by humans everywhere. $10<\/p>\n
