If you know Graham Annable only from his one panel cartoons, this book will be a departure for you, because these are short comics that tell a story, and some of the stories are quite dark. I really liked them, even with the bleakness.
P.S. The best place to buy this book is Annable's website, plus you get his autograph in your book! https://gricklemart.com/

Quirky and quite odd, if enjoyable. Some of these stories are hilarious, some are charming, and some are just plain weird.

I honestly don't know how to describe this collection. It's bizarre and disorienting in all the best ways. This book was an experience.

A collection of short tales which are simple drawings but manage to convey some complex ideas with humour and where the good does not always win out
This was my introduction to the world of "Grickle" and it was fascinating.

A very frustrating book. Annable's art is great; perfect at communicating emotions with just a few scribbly lines. But that makes it so maddening that his stories make very little sense, and they flow in a weird, slow, stream-of-consciousness way that belongs to a much more twee book than he appears suited for. Any single panel will seem like a stroke of genius, but put together, they make very inefficient and awkward comics. Closer to 2/5, pulling ahead a bit by the strength of the truly enjoyable inking job.

In a few seemingly simple drawings, these comics convey a lot of emotions that sometimes make you think, but mostly make you laugh. On a second reading you are sure to discover some things you missed before.
