Little strips stories about himself, relationships, monsters in his head… or not, loneliness, social awkwardness. Some stories were funny, but most of them didn’t make me laugh. Maybe I just didn’t connect or understand.
Really funny and I feel like this is perfect for people in their 20s. Sumida is good at drawing hilarious expressions and even for all the ridiculous, otherworldly, outrageous situations he concocted, I still found myself saying, "OH HAHA THIS IS SOOOOO MEEEE! I would TOTALLY ask people their glasses preference on me while the world is on fire and everyone is being torn apart by vultures! RELATABLE!"
We've got this new genre in TV and books and cinema and everything called 'millennial,' and it's funny and awkward and honest and doesn't care for your obsession with commas in lists and stuff. The 'millennial' genre pitches to those of us currently in our twenties, and Snackies certainly appeals to that bracket; I myself feel perfectly at home in the hell between covers as I can relate to the subject.
And, honestly, it's just fucking nice to have a breather from sex and social justice in contemporary queer comics. _____
