A review by tzveyah
Can't Get No by Nick Napolitano, Rick Veitch

3.0

a friend handed me this one, and I do love Veitch so I gave it a whirl. I enjoyed it, and having grown up reading pro anarchist, radical, union, and up-with-community messaged books and comics this was a very familiar trope. it was enjoyable but for a number of things I noticed. of course for the sake of making its message clear it was black and white to a fault. I was upset at how Veitch pictured and drew the female artists who start our protagonist/antagonist on his journey. is this how Veitch feels about women who see things differently, women artists, or just women radicals? they were seemingly the only classically ugly characters in the book. and then the only part of the book that's left unclear is the final message Veitch is sending, as his main character finds a way to possibly climb out of financial ruin. is his way doomed? is moderation the message? or must he turn his back on his mainstream life to truly find happiness? worth reading and pondering...
