Fling, G. – Flung #2

Flung #2

I’m going out on a limb with this one because it’s in my pile of older minis and I’m not entirely sure that this guy is still around. No date on the comics but I think I got them a couple of years ago and his website isn’t coming up, but I did e-mail him to see what was up so you’ll know soon if you can still get this. This issue is autobiographical (as is the first one) and it’s done pretty well. Just the story of G. going out with some friends, leaving the bar sexually frustrated and running into some really beautiful prostitutes. A moral (and monetary) dilemma follows. The problem with a lot of autobio is that the author doesn’t really have much to talk about, and that problem is taken care of here with a thoroughly engaging story from his life. This was a lot tighter than the first issue, which was still good but had a few short stories. The (almost) issue length story suits him well. True, this book isn’t going to set the comics industry on its ear any time soon, but it’s a solid, well done comic. Well worth the $2.50 he’s asking for it, assuming that anybody can find him. Here’s his e-mail address. Hey look, he was kind enough to send me the address for his site, which has Flung #3 up on it! Here’s his address too: P.O. Box 241 Kirkland, WA 98083.
