Childlike dialogue/storytelling + bleak and violent themes + singular, unique drawings = compelling read.

Very very strange. Repetitive and absurd. But there's something there. I'm not exactly sure what. Life is agony and hope is a waste of time?

Tsouris in the extreme, especially....for Amy.

  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

no plot, just vibes
very funky comic, i love the art and think it would make a cool shirt for a skater/stoner boy (or me :) )
a very simple but not necessarily mindless read, i would argue it has some deeper meaning.

I feel like certain pages can be blown up and put on a wall as art. These panels can be read as a separate joke in life just standing alone. Depending on what's going on in your life, these panels could make you smile in many different ways. I really enjoyed reading this.

This is like if you dropped a married couple onto a planet filled with the creatures from the Star Wars cantina. The people and animals are arbitrarily kind an cruel, as are Jordan and Amy themselves. Food is very prominent, as is healthcare coverage (or maybe I'm projecting... no, I'm not... medical bills for some really amazing treatments factor very heavily in Jordan and Amy's itinerant lifestyle). Anyhow, it was very disorienting and I enjoyed it.
