Starts with a few essays on the world of THB. I don't know - it just feels overdeveloped and underwhelming to me. To simplify Mars has been impacted by colonialism, the native Martians are treated poorly and the ruling political structure is similar to that of Communist China with censures and whatnot. I am however very intrigued by Pope's ambitions here and I've been enjoying these peripheral THB comics more than the main series.
The Hidden Face
The bug faces break into a couple's house in search of the woman. The man tells the woman to hide her face in the blankets and for some reason the bugs are so stupid they don't know a face is on the other side of her head. It's pretty funny.
Face Rub
Collete and her dad and hanging out. The dad gets the girl to give him a pretty aggressive head massage. I don't get it!
The Circus
HR and Lollie are at the circus and THB is needed to help defeat some gangsters. A bit confusing of a story for me. But the panels of THB jumping around fighting a robot were cool!
The Circus Happy Birthday
HR is trying to get across town with a birthday cake for Lollie. It's a complete disaster but after getting THB's help she gets there with the cake nearly intact. Lots of fun. I really liked the full page drawing of the elephant in a parade that HR needs to cross. And the page of THB jumping over all the rooftops. Pope's art is fantastic here.
