Outside #7

So, for those of you keeping track out there, that first review up there was for Outside #5, the other one apparently wasn’t an issue of Outside, and this is #7. Not like it’s rocket science or anything, I just wanted to make sure that everybody was clear. The bulk of this one is a story called The Land of Misplaced Objects, which begins as a man is letting himself be hypnotized in order to find some lost paperwork and ends up basically walking through a graveyard of his life and all the things he’s left behind over the years. It was a very quiet, thoughtful and simple story, which made the whole comic worth a look, in my opinion. Other than that you have a sketchbook page, a one page strip and a brief two page story of how the universe began. Nothing to set the world on fire, I guess, but I liked the first story a lot. Contact info is up there, this one is $1.50.
