Hey, if I knew that people were going to be taking these rambles and using them to summing up their last book, I would try to make them a little more coherent. In this issue we get to see exactly why the young man from the first issue didn&#8217;t care that his Dad was gone. Some of it you might expect, other parts of it you probably won&#8217;t, but it&#8217;s a pretty powerful indictment of shitty parenting where the parent is crazy enough to think that they&#8217;re teaching the child some good life lessons. This is essentially a day in the life of this young man, so there&#8217;s not a whole lot more to say about it than that. I still love the linework in this book, as a book without any solid blacks is oddly soothing, and I&#8217;m still fascinated to see what happens next. Both good signs for a book only on its second issue. $2<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/america22.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" align=\"bottom\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-mail This Is Still America #2 Now Available! $2 George reprinted most of the review for #1 inside this book as a synopsis\/review, so for those of you who only picked up the second issue and are wondering why there&#8217;s such a crappy synopsis, that&#8217;s sort of my fault.
