Half-sized minicomic from Kristen Toohill's classes at Vermont's Center for Cartoon Studies. Dan Is Silly introduces Kristen's friend Dan through a series of geeky slices of life. They discuss Facebook games, WOW, Bejeweled, vuvuzelas, and the distinctive oxygen-extracting mechanisms of gills and lungs. Both characters are amusing, and the artwork and lettering is more crisp and clear than is typical for a lot of slice-of-life minicomics. If you're into autobiographical geekery, this is a nice little book.

Rating: 7.5/10
