Title: Dawn's Dictionary Drama
Issue: Part 1: From "Improvement" to "Cleansing"
Date: 2009
Writer: John Bintz
Artist: John Bintz
Comedy minicomic with the gimmick that random words are generated and then must be fit into the script, art, or sound effects. Originally published as a webcomic. The story has a sitcom vibe, involving a plan to win the town's Celebration of Manliness competition. Dawn's pick to win is not all that manly, but she is hoping the he won't be facing very tough competition. And the gift certificate they stand to win will help to kickstart Dawn's planned t-shirt business.
But when tightrope-walking practice is added to the training regimen, the scheme looks like it is starting to unravel.
It took a bit to figure out who everyone was, but once it got going there were some amusing gags, and the occasional bit of charming geekiness. I didn't feel like the random words had much impact on the overall reading of the story, but I'm sure it makes the writing process amusing.
Rating: 5.5/10
