Fun issue

Excellent jokes and fun read. I'm really enjoying this series. Well worth checking out if Kevin's humour matches yours. Issue 3 focuses on Elias and is a great joke mine for Kevin's writing.

Like Elias is easily my least favourite character in Clerks. Dante and Randall feel like people who could exist. Elias does not. Especially as someone who suffered through that same kind of christian upbringing. But still this was an entertaining little window into his life. And added a bit more dimension to his reappearance in clerks 3.

Easily my favorite of this series so far, Elias steals everything you put him in. This is a true orgin story that we all needed. We get to finally meet Myra Hodgkiss and we get some backstory into what was going on with Elias between Clerks 2 and Clerks 3.

The legend of Pillowpants is born! Laughed my butt off when it was revealed that Elias and Myra weren't even a thing lol.
