Reviews

[Michael P. · Rating 2 out of 5]

I am at a disadvantage. I do not like underground comics, even when published in a book. I read this for work because of a short Shakespeare adaptation, and read the rest for curiosity. I’m sure that I don’t get it, but then I don’t really want to. The creator of these stories have a different way of seeing the world than I, which is fine, but that means these stories seem trivial and are often pointless to me, not nearly as clever as their creators clearly think they are. The second star is for the few stories that were better than the others.

So much perfection in here.
