Here's another book from the random stack of unread comics. This is
from a Columbus OH based small press, so I am guessing I got it at one
of the SPACE conventions.
Title: Sunday Comix Jams
Date: 2007
Publisher: Sequentially Speaking
Writer: Mike Lucas, Matt Wyatt, Max Ink, Michael Neno, Ray Tomczak, Ellen Wyatt, John Miller, Sheldon Gleisser, Mustafa Yasir, Jennifer Oestreicher, Frank Cvetkovik, Victor Dandridge, Kevin Rapp, Mike Carroll, Steve Galgas, Buster, Mike Haris, Kevin Scott, Jocelyn Hach, Dan Leister, Leigh Cimons, B.A. Richardson, Phonzie

Editor: Mike Lucas, Max Ink
Cover: Ray Tomczak
This half-sized 32-page b/w minicomic collects jam comics from the Sequentially Speaking group's Sunday Comix meetings. For those not familiar with the jam concept, basically someone draws a first panel and then the page gets passed around the group for people to continue the story by drawing the next panel. I've even participated in a couple of jams, and it's loads of fun.
It also tends to result in somewhat incoherent books. That's definitely the case for much of this, but once you understand that this is almost entirely improvised, coherence begins to matter a bit less.
There are some decent laughs amid the general absurdities brought about by the format, and some fun geeky references too. There were nice nods to Felix the Cat, EC Comics, and the "super-gorilla" stories of silver-age DC, along with a fair amount of Sequentially Speaking in-jokes.
Surreal and a bit uneven, as might be expected, but entertaining nonetheless.
Rating: 5.5/10
