It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time #2

Can I be cantankerous for a minute? Well, sure, it’s my website. This comic is a collection of single pages, bundled together with a piece of paper naming the comic. This is fine, as I’m certainly not the boss of how Trevor makes his comics. The only problem is that I’ve seen other comics like these, and they do not hold up well. Inevitably the binder gets lost, or a page or two slips out somewhere along the line, never to be seen again. In his defense, he put quite a large sticky glob on the binder, so maybe that won’t be as big of a problem here, but it still seems like a bad idea. But what difference does that make, my “job” is to review the contents, not the presentation. Well, like I said, these are all one page stories, and they can be read in any order. Some work better than others (the one with the two people silently driving just baffled me, and not only because I have no idea where those feet came from in the second to last panel), and the stories include an odd cat conversation, the joys of living near water in a dry area in the summer, being the weirdo who draws outside in the rain, getting talked into getting an even worse movie than the one that you were trying to watch (knowing full well that it was supposed to be terrible), an average awkward drink order at a restaurant, an odd conversation about art, a hilarious description of the redneck mating call, calling the bluff of somebody working in customer service who says they can help you pick out a printer, and the dangers of talking politics at work. It’s a pretty funny pile of stories, so never mind my general crankiness on the presentation. I’m still thinking that people want their books/stuff to last for the long haul, which is probably a pretty antiquated notion all by itself.
