Saturday Nite #1

A few stories in this one, the main one being a story about the main character (autobiographical?) getting harassed by a bum and feeling too guilty to turn him down. Eventually the guy starts imposing and things get a little ugly. It’s tough to say after reading the first issue of a series that it wasn’t that great, but it just wasn’t. It was OK, with the potential to get much better. He might have done that with the second issue, I don’t know. Frankly, I’m not going to go out of my way to buy it either, just because my list of stuff to get is already huge and this didn’t evoke much more than an “eh” reaction out of me. He has a great website for samples though, so you should check it out and see what you think. It has a few of his one page strips, which I actually liked a lot more than his larger story. Reminds me a little of some of the Duplex Planet stuff that Dan Clowes did. Anyway, check it out. He did win a Xeric Grant, you know…
