Full disclosure: I \u00e2\u20ac\u0153grew up\u00e2\u20ac\u009d reading his stuff, from his Destroy All Comics magazine to No Hope to all the little minis in between. Of course, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153growing up\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in this racket means that he helped form my high opinion of this medium in my late teens\/early 20\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s when I was making the transition away from superhero stuff to actual quality work. Not that there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not SOME quality superhero stuff, kind of\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 OK, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve gone off the rails. This comic, as is the case with most of his work, defies reviewing. Jeff seems to wander around town, finding things to do on his days off (or happily deciding to do nothing at all), and documenting in very specific detail what he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s seeing. What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s often missing in his books are other people, as he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s more than content to document his surroundings, the growing pile of books and DVDs at his apartment, and his personal thoughts. Oddly, although he mentions in this issue that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s had the same job for 7 years (as of 2006, judging by the dates on the strips), I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not sure that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ever mentioned exactly what he does. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just not important enough in the grand scheme of things to warrant mentioning in his comics when there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so much (or so little) else to talk about. My quest to make this guy rich continues, so buy his stuff, show some love for a genuine artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_wpsc_stock":"4","_wpsc_price":"5","_wpsc_special_price":"5","_wpsc_sku":"","footnotes":""},"product_tag":[],"wpsc_product_category":[4747,5699],"wpsc-variation":[],"class_list":["post-19733","wpsc-product","type-wpsc-product","status-publish","hentry","wpsc_product_category-comics","wpsc_product_category-jeff-levine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/wpsc-product\/19733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/wpsc-product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/wpsc-product"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/wpsc-product\/19733\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=19733"},{"taxonomy":"wpsc_product_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fwpsc_product_category&post=19733"},{"taxonomy":"wpsc-variation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fwpsc-variation&post=19733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
