And Then One Day #2

Three cheers for sticking with the fuzzy cover! It’s probably a pain to produce, but there’s nothing like holding a soft comic. OK, there are probably better things in the world, but I’m one for simple pleasures. I’d also like to apologize to Ryan, as I said in the last review that things seemed to be going really well for him, then it all started to fall apart. Still, he seems to be handling it all well. This comic was also the first time that I’m aware of someone using one of my reviews as a starting point for a diary strip, so I couldn’t help but use it for the sample. Hey, half the time this whole independent comics scene feels like one big circle jerk anyway, so allow me this indulgence. So what about this comic? Well, even though it deals with darker subject matter than the last issue, it manages to never get morose, as Ryan seems to have a good grip on the world. Sorry, no breakdowns put on paper here. Strips in here are about getting to teach a class on comics to kids, the best poster ever, breaking up, working, facial hair, obsessing over comics, a fiddle festival, a guy on a cell phone in the bathroom (what is up with that anyway?), and getting beat playing a video game by a five year old.
