The characters are too angular for that poured out of a bottle feel you get with some - more like really skinny paper dolls with taped-together joints.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-18188991520799136652014-08-05T12:18:49.951-04:002014-08-05T12:18:49.951-04:00"For me, the most important test of a comic b..."For me, the most important test of a comic book series is whether or not I'm left caring about what happens in the next issue." BINGO. That says it all. Very interesting concept, too.

It's also genuinely funny. I don't often laugh at things I read, but these issues are so packed with jokes, even in the background, that they get me every time. Glad you're promoting such clever, original work.
