Stories of Kiwi #3

This is kind of the adventures of a floating kiwi, except for the fact that it’s mostly the adventures of his friends. They’re all odd looking in some way or another, and that’s about all the information we get about them. This issue deals with one of the characters suddenly turning into a vampire and the complete lack of concern by his friends when he starts killing people. You’ve all read me complaining about grammar in these mini comics at some point, and you’ve all read about me bitching about the improper use of “you’re” and “your”, “there” and “their”, things like that. Well, in #0 (no, I’m not going to review all the issues. I didn’t think much of it, and it’s my discretion we’re going with here) he mentions that it’s done for the sake of an inside joke, which is all well and good, as mini comics are the most insider jokiningest things out there. Here’s the thing, and maybe there’s a nice way to put this… ah, screw being nice. It makes him look like a moron. That thought crosses my mind when it happens once or twice, when it’s constant I start to wonder if the guy has an education at all. All that wouldn’t make that much difference if the story was engaging or entertaining at all, and there wasn’t much to latch onto in the first few issues. Maybe I’m just in a pissy mood because I’ve had a cold for the better part of two months, but I really didn’t come away from this feeling like I’d gotten much out of it. E-mail him if you like or send him money at: 1092 E. U.S. 10 Scottville, MI 49454. I liked the art though…
