Depasquale, Jason – Ninth Floor B-Sides

Ninth Floor B-Sides

Every time I see stuff from this guy I think of Martin Wagner. probably because of the University of Texas thing. I just checked my page and realized that he isn’t up there yet, and you can bet that’s going to change really soon, but I’m rambling here… Jason DePasquale is who we’re talking about here. This is a collection of stuff from various sources, even though the only thing I had seen before was the back cover . I’m not a big fan of the vast majority of newspaper style strips (you know, the four panel gag format) because most of them are just stupid and, honestly, so are most of these. A few of them are funny though, and that’s mostly all you can ask for from those types of things. The best story in the book is the tale of the horse who was “taught” to stomp his foot in conjunction with numbers written on a piece of paper, even learning to add eventually. I haven’t been in school for a while so I had forgotten the story. It’s a great cautionary tale. Past that, the comic is pretty much a hodge-podge of stuff, some good and some not so good, but it’s definitely worth a look for a buck. That and he says that if you just e-mail him your address he’ll send you free stuff, so how can you beat that?
