Cyclopedia Exotica by Aminder Dhaliwal

Personally I struggled with this being a book format. I remember reading these comics as they came out on Instagram and really enjoying them because they were short, funny, and I could recognize the characters for their past comics. But I felt like those are the reasons I didn't enjoy this much as a book. It just felt almost unfinished to me. There was so much I thought I wanted the author to explore that it feels like they didn't or at least not to the extent that I wanted because they limited themself to keeping the comics 2 pages or less. I felt that especially when reading about the authors intentions for each character at the end of the book. I felt like they said they wanted a lot for the characters that I didn't end up seeing. Maybe thats on my end though. I did however really enjoy the intro. The disruption of the encyclopedia thing was really cool.
