These quirky, kinda stupid comics have a bit of an in feel to them. So much so that Robin even draws a series in which he ponders why all his comics, even ones that have nothing to do with his life, end up having him in them. Not surprisingly, such rich subject matter goes nowhere. I’m very much a fan of Saskatoon’s Darren Schmidtz, although his best work isn’t to be found here. Still, this whole package is probably worth it for Daydream, a Schmidtz classic that combines his usual talent for displacement and dystopia with the more whimsical feel that, overall, characterizes this collaboration.
