I'm loving this collection of mostly gag strips, and I stress gag, what with some hilariously abhorrent characters we'll all recognize. Josh phrased it best on the back of the thing: "Atrocity Comics For Apocalypse Times," and with a center spread of two different ghouls, one happy and one sad, both exclaiming "EVERYTHING'S FALLING APART!!!" I couldn't have phrased it better. My favorite strip is the one in which a clearly insomnolent character lies in bed with vicious cycle arrows feeding "The awful shit other people said and did to me" with "The awful shit I said and did to other people" into each other. Hits pretty close to home, I gotta say. -LM
