The Daily Compulsion #1

January 2004 |
Nathan is 23 and this is his first comic. Now, those who've been reading comics (especially mini-comics) for a long while know that that combination doesn't usually yield amazing results. But, hey, that's okay. I have yet to produce a comic that's all me so Nathan's definitely got me beat. The comic itself is a lowbrow, the-cops-suck, weed-rocks, bodily-fluids-are-funny sort of affair. You know what I'm talking about. Credited influences – apart from weed, chicks and booze, I mean – are Joe Matt and Ivan Brunetti, so maybe that'll give you some idea. it's not so much my glass of lager but there is promise and a few funny bits if you're not easily offended. I admire anybody who puts out their own comics and I know they'll appeal to other people more than me, but I'm also pretty certain that his comics will be more appealing all around with a little work. All in all, I think Nathan's off to a good start. reviewed by Rick Bradford for poopsheet.blogspot.com |
