comic, #5, 20 pgs, $2, Micah Liesenfeld, PO Box 1731, St. Charles, MO, 63302, USA A pen and ink comic that, sadly, doesn’t live up to the potential of the author’s abilities. The evocative pen strokes that grace the beginning and end of this story (which I regret to report isn’t that engaging and involves a long section about vomit stories) gives in to almost lazy stick-figure drawings. Perhaps it isn’t fair to give these crude drawings a “stick figure” description, but when you’ve seen glimmers of talent on the bookends, you wonder why the meat of the zine is comparably barren.
