Samurai Slate in "Punctual"

I'll be spending tomorrow, 7/13, at Readercon in Burlington MA. Just attending this convention, though. No table. I will have a table the next day, 7/14 at the Wellfleet Flea Market in Wellfleet MA, where I'll be selling a big selection of used paperback books (mostly SF/fantasy/horror), as well as the comics I publish through Dandelion Studios.

For today's review, here's a minicomic from the backlog.

Title: Samurai Slate in "Punctual"
Publisher: Keith O'Brien (postmasterkeith@gmail.com)
Date: 2012
Writer: Keith O'Brien
Artist: Astor Gravelle, Tom Stazer, Dale Martin, Keith O'Brien
Cover: Tom Cherry
Editor, Carrie O'Brien

Six short 1-2 page stories in a quarter-sized minicomic package. Each story uses a particular theme and the fills the dialogue with puns on that theme. Themes incude shapes, planets, birds, and several others.


Some readers may find this groan-worthy, but I was in pun-heaven reading this.

Cute and funny (and punny!).

Rating: 7.5/10
