The World is Our Icebox

This is a collection of what looks like three panel newspaper strips about penguins that was shoved into something that vaguely resembled a story. What you get because of that are really dumb punchlines every three panels or so and a very loose cohesiveness to the story, which doesn’t matter that much anyway. It’s all about penguins, so you have wackiness involving their trying to sweet talk a bag, avoiding a killer whale trying to talk them into the water, and trying to fly a paper airplane. Check out the Shellac Jones stuff if you’re really interested in his work, this isn’t a very good representation in my opinion. Unless the other story I saw was the exception and this is the norm, but I don’t like to think like that. Check out the website, there are a few other comics there too. I also found out on the site that this is a collection of strips. Maybe it’s an internet phenomenon or something that I missed, but I really don’t feel like I missed much this time around…
