Wide Arsed Mole #3

Aargh! OK, for one thing, this was a hell of a book. Probably the best of the random books I got this time around, and that’s saying something. It’s still kind of raw and parts of it are almost too tiny to read, but this girl has all the tools to be a major talent in a few years, and she’s pretty damned good right now. However, after I finished reading this wonderful mini, I realized that there was no address anywhere. Nothing at all. She mentions at one point that she’s living in Melbourne, but that’s as close as she gets to saying where she lives. Dammit, how am I supposed to get the old issues? Or the new ones that might have come out since this was published? No e-mail address, no comic company, nothing. I unreservedly recommend this if you can find it.

What kind of stories are in this? I don’t know, she’s kind of a cross between Renee French and… somebody I’ve never seen before. She has her own unique style and it works for her. Lymph, about a lymph node and some unidentified thing talking, was fantastic. Overall I liked her longer works (like The Donut Hole) better, but the one page strips were great too. I really don’t want to give too much away because this is something that you should all be discovering for yourselves. And, through a little bit of online research, I’ve come up with an address. Send her a few dollars and ask for the latest thing that she’s done.
