Odd Job Rod #1

This is an OK little book. The theory here is that Odd Job Rod is a guy who comes when called and helps out, no matter the situation. These are mostly one or two page strips with a gag leading up to a punchline of some kind, leading me to wonder whether this was a weekly strip or something. It’s funny at times and downright stupid at others, as is that case with most weekly strips. The highlight is probably the two-pager that’s set up with a man who gives a garbled three name cry for help, which leads a bunch of three name “heroes” to come and offer their assistance. It looks good, it’s fairly detailed stuff, and it looks from the back page like he has a vast backlog of stuff to choose from. I’d be curious to see what other stuff he has out there, whether it’s more humor or serious stuff. Hey, I might have more of it here, my strategy for picking books to review is to grab randomly in the pile of stuff I got from SPX, so who knows? I’ll keep the site posted, as always. Check out his website or just send him an e-mail if you’re sufficiently curious…
