Yes, I am aware that I&#8217;m the only person who even notices these sorts of things. This issue is, as you might have imagined, pretty raw. You can see some of Barry&#8217;s unique skills, but he clearly hadn&#8217;t put it all together yet. First up is a conversation between two armless things, but if I say anything about it I ruin the punchline. Which makes no sense, but hey, I&#8217;m firmly against ruining things whenever possible. Next up is floss, a story about two lonely musicians and what they can do when they get together. From here it gets downright autobiographical, as Barry describes a man who always makes fun of his (Barry&#8217;s) beard and then has the sampled strip about Renee French. A bit dated at this point, but he&#8217;s probably still right. Finally there&#8217;s a short two page strip with a very large head and a very tiny gun, of which I will say no more. Like I&#8217;ve said, his best stuff is yet to come at this stage, but there are still enough nuggets in these minis to make them worth checking out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_wpsc_stock":"9","_wpsc_price":"1","_wpsc_special_price":"1","_wpsc_sku":"","footnotes":""},"product_tag":[],"wpsc_product_category":[5713,4747],"wpsc-variation":[],"class_list":["post-19979","wpsc-product","type-wpsc-product","status-publish","hentry","wpsc_product_category-barry-rodges","wpsc_product_category-comics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/wpsc-product\/19979","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\/19979\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=19979"},{"taxonomy":"wpsc_product_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fwpsc_product_category&post=19979"},{"taxonomy":"wpsc-variation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fwpsc-variation&post=19979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
