Bixtone Productions #2

Is “meh” an acceptable review? No? OK, fine, I’ll elaborate. This is mostly a series of “funny” stories, their length being either a page or half a page, with a few pages of sketchbook material thrown in. It should be pretty well established around here by now that I hate spoilers, so I won’t say exactly how these strips end, just the pattern. Fair enough? Pissing, head exploding, smashing, smacking, smashing, pissing mistaken for taking a dump. I’m leaving out the stories dealing with school as they were the funniest of the bunch, if incomprehensible at times and more than a touch derivative of Evan Dorkin. In the afterward Kevin mention the fact that this took him 30 days to put together (probably for a con or something, as those rush jobs rarely look good after the fact), so that’s sort of an excuse. The bottom line is that there’s just not a whole lot here to recommend. Maybe #1 was better, maybe future issues picked up on some of the promising bits here and ran with them, but #2 is completely skippable. $3
