Imaginary Homework   Theo Ellsworth
cover

Rumbling chapter 2   Kevin Huizenga
cover

Continuing the story begun in Or Else #5, loosely adapted from Giorgio Manganelli’s Centuria. Glenn Ganges prefers to avoid conflict, so he left his “scientifically rigorous” country when politics got too hot; unfortunately, where he’s living now, there’s a religious war. The churning of society happens at a distance as Glenn tries to focus on simple things. A beautiful, powerful brew of classic cartooning, visual poetry and philosophy.

In this issue: What soldiers think; guns in the forest; a little kid tries to imagine life without the Bible; a mysterious ride in a pickup truck.

Laugh-a-Graphs   Chris Cilla

Gag cartoons, sort of; it depends on how abstract you are. Cilla offers a brief sampler of odd little ideas, with his unmistakable bulgy line and out-of-control noses.

Brilliantly Ham-Fisted   Tom Neely
cover

Twenty-three unsettling, elliptical four-panel “comic strip poems”—some with stories and some not, some with color and some not. Neely’s elegant drawings seethe with dread, yearning, and occasional joy. (A shorter, black-and-white-only version of this book was previously available from Tom at conventions.)

Ten Thousand Things to Do #3   Jesse Reklaw
cover

Jesse plays music, makes up a new system for graphing daily moods, and wonders when the cats will stop throwing up so much. (Note, if you have issue #1: Reklaw has been doing these faster than we could order them, so this is the third issue; we have the second one too now.)

Just So You Know #1   Joey Sayers
cover

You might not think that having to explain to your parents, your girlfriend, and a bunch of comics fans that you’re now a girl instead of a boy could be funny. But this is Joey, so it’s funny—and it’s a true story and insanely sweet.
