HelLA #2

I've reviewed three others from this minicomic series, not in order. This is the second issue.

Title: HelLA
Issue: 2
Date: 2010
Publisher: Cody Pickrodt
Writer: Cody Pickrodt
Artist: Cody Pickrodt

 HelLA is Cody Pickrodt's journal minicomic about the time he spent living in the Los Angeles area.

The cats and ferrets totally steal the show in this issue. Aside from the animals, this one had a recurring theme of hormones and a fair amount of focus moments between the protagonist and his girlfriend. A few "Oh no, he did not just go there!" kinds of moments, and a few that felt very down-to-Earth real.

Not as much nerdy content in this issue, but the cats and ferrets somewhat make up for that, and the artist does some interesting experiments with parallel ferret cartoons at the bottoms of the first few pages.

I like the other books in this series better than this one, but this was still definitely interesting. And did I mention cats? And ferrets?
