Some entertaining slice-of-life tales about work in customer service. Plus X Files vs. Fringe, reality TV, cats, and sexist superheroes.

Fun collection of mostly one-page gag stri. I didn't laugh out loud at everything here, but there were plenty of chuckles to be had).

Ten-page bargain minicomic. Fun.

Minicomic collection of short cartoons. Opening bit involving a cat and a small tribute to the film Alien was very cute. This is followed by a SF-flavored vignette that felt like it was part of something bigger. It was actually a dream comic, as it turned out, but it still looked like there could be an interesting plot lurking in there.

The remaining pieces were short, amusing autobiographical bits, that had the little bit of geeky edge that I never fail to find amusing in nonfiction comics.

Ten pages total, but entertaining and worth the buck cover price.

Rating: 7/10.
