Lunch Hour Comix #1

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve seen a book from Robert (not like he hasn’t been making them, as he has a few new ones listed at the back of this one, I just missed them), and he’s one of those people where I automatically like it when I see it and he has to lose me from there. Sorry to the comics people where I start off neutral, which is most of them, but if you put out enough great books you get up their on that pedestal from me. This is his attempt at a daily diary strip. Yes, it’s been done to death, and yes, it usually just shows that the daily life of these people is fairly dull. So what? Anybody out there reading this heading up an expedition to the Antarctic or something? I’m fine with dull daily routine, and it you need more than that, well, you probably stopped reading this when you saw “daily diary strip” anyway. Subjects in here include marriage, buying a house, walking the dog, voting, the day after voting, music, drinking, hockey, and, of course, comics. This is a pretty hefty book at $4.95, and it also has some older diary strips he did back in 2002 and a few strips from his friend Bill Burg. A bit dull at times, granted, but the insights made up for the lack of excitement in some of the strips. Oh, and he also did each of them in less than an hour, if you’re interested in that sort of thing. Contact info is up there, or you could just go to the Alternative Comics site and get it there, along with more other great comics than you could shake that stick at…
