This couple is freakin' charming.

Continuing the saga of their life in various living spaces in cities on the east coast, they chronicle food, pets, entertainment, and other misadventures in this spottily autobiographical comic.

As I said in my review of the first volume, they feel like they could easily be friends of mine. Reading both of these comics were a great way to think about setting tone in comics. It is not at all strictly biographical - they are filtering their content and delivery through a very particular lens. A charming one. :)

My opinion still stands from my review of the previous volume:

For some reason I had never thought of this, but damn is it a great idea. A webcomic autobiography. Genius. Hilarious characters, or should I say people. The conversations/scenarios are very reminiscent to me and my own friends, so it a was a very enjoyable read.
