Like James Kochalka of American Elf, Gareth Kyle Gaudin draws a comic strip each day. However, Gaudin reaches beyond daily events to dabble in various styles and themes. The adventurous reader with a short attention span will enjoy dropped story lines and rapid style changes. This is a stream-of-consciousness cartoon, sketchbook and journal. The author’s self portrait vacillates so much it is hard to envision what he looks like, but his personality and obsessions are apparent. This comic inspires me to visit Victoria, look at historic buildings, pet animals, and buy comics at Legends. (Grace Ma)
