Title: Teardroppe Comiques Spectaculare
Issue: Volume One
Pubisher: Teardroppe Comiques
Date: 2004
Writer: Matthew Teardrop
Artist: Matthew Teardrop
Cover: Matthew Pulling

Minicomic collection of short comics by Matthew Teardrop, beginning with a comic based on one of my favorite expressions, "You'll have plenty of time to sleep when you're dead." Because that might not actually be the case.

From there, the collection tackles the expression "Get over it!", the plot of the film Eyes Wide Shut, and the ongoing adventures of the Amazing Invisible Boy, who would be quite helpful if he would actually save the world.

Some of the humor is crude. As has been documented, I'm not a fan of poop jokes, so some of this fell a bit flat for me, but there was plenty here that was amusing. There were some nice short 1-3 panel strips mixed in with the longer (1-5 page) pieces.

This was good for some laughs.
