Your Puffy Ships Are Sinking

Lookie here, another one of those abstract, mostly wordless comics where I try to determine some sort of meaning in a brief ramble about the contents. What’s the point? What’s so great about nailing something to the real world that quite possibly wasn’t meant to be interpreted into reality? In that vein, screw it. What you have here is a mostly wordless tale involving a creature giving another creature the gift of hair. Said gift gets out of hand, giants need hats, and the whole thing comes together beautifully when one of them literally rides off on a musical note. The image of a character riding off on a musical note, for all you aspiring cartoonists out there, will get a positive review out of me every time; I just can’t resist it. There’s also a little bonus strip that runs along the bottom of the pages, or perhaps it’s part of the larger story and I just can’t see it, involving a man trying to avoid being eaten by a giant apple, at least at first. Isn’t it fun to try and take comics like this literally? My guess is that Garrett did the writing and Terry did the art, but one look at the website has me thinking that’s probably wrong. Oh well, it was called (reluctantly) a jam in the note attached, maybe they both took turns “jamming”. Well worth checking out, it’s probably around $3…
