I have previously read almost all of these stories but still could not resist checking out this collection of all the Fritz Martinez tales in one place. It turns out one of the few I had not read was one of the most traumatic pieces of Fritz'z story, although really when collected here instead of interspersed with Jaime Hernandez stories in Love and Rockets, her whole scene does seem more f---ed than I remembered. Anyhow, these are all told from Mark Herrera's point of view here, and with more of his own saga of ex-wives than I ever paid much attention to, and less of Fritz's sister---It's like a 500 Days of Summer version of Fritz. The story of the cable access show is still one of my favorites.
