47187, Drags for a while, then gets really good Posted by buckshot defunct, Wed Jan-04-06 02:03 PM
The talking headsiness of the first 40 pages or so has some pretty amusing stuff in it, but visually it's quite static and so things get off to a slow start. But once things started picking up, I really enjoyed the hell out of this book. Wimbledon is a real hoot. The Scrooge McDuck of comic book collectors. It was a side of Seth I hadn't seen before. Much looser and a lot funnier. I kind of prefer it, actually.
I just wish he didn't bill this thing as a 'sketchbook comic' It almost sounds like an apology. And the whole 'sketchbook' thing could scare off potential readers. The story is a lot of fun and the art is still more polished than most.
