I was on the hunt for weird comics and boy howdy did I ever hit the jackpot. This is truly some bizarre stuff and I loved it! Intensely fascinating, beautiful and kind of sad. Every story made me pause, I look forward to checking out more by this author

I love the art in flu drawings, especially how the artist shows that the characters are dressed in expensive, beautiful clothes.. Like they're draped in jewels. Mars is my Last Hope and Christmas Dinner were good, and the tone shift in Elves was funny. The last panel of Gun Cats is very striking, when the protagonist hands the bird a gun instead of trying to keep disarming the creatures.. Wet Animals was my favourite by far, it's the kind of story I would love to illustrate. It's so poignant and emotional, explaining these complex feelings with pure dialogue where undercurrents and subtext are hidden. I felt for Amy when she had to disappear to the water. Her grief as her and the fish swear at each other..

Cool divergence from basic story structure. Weird, wonderful artwork.

The art work is amazing and the story’s are so different from each other. It s the most random thing I’ve ever read.
