A Waste of Time

Dave B. instead of Rick writing a commentary again.  Hope you didn’t bring the kids to this one.  Hope you’d already caught on to the route this story was taking.  Is it art?  Is it pornography?  I’d call it Henry Miller meets the slacker generation.  Print comics have long been supporting psuedo-memories like this – slightly embellished reality, a few flourishes, mostly real life.  The artist gets to share more than he ever would by veiling it inside a little cartoonist fancifulness, which allows there to be just that little bit of doubt as to what really happened and what didn’t.  Most of this story did happen.
