I was wandering about the small press section of
Wizard World Texas and what do I spot, but a clear
simple line comic strip with a guy and a monkey.
Well, as we all know, everything is funnier with a
monkey. So I crept closer to the table and looked
at more of the strips that were laid out across
it. They were deeply humorous and very cute. So,
I did what any reasonable comic geek would do, I
picked up a copy of the collection, and I was not
disappointed.
Joe and Monkey and the fewer strips
of the precursor comic No Pants Tuesday are
hilarious. It is both humorously inane and
acerbically witty. Sometimes it can be both at
once. The art is crisp and much like your
traditional comic strip that you would find in the
funny pages section of the newspaper.
It's a comic about a normal guy, his monkey and a
evil robot named Kleptobot, what more could you
ask for? It's an excellent book and if you have
the opportunity to pick it up, I strongly urge you
to do so. It would make a great present for that
special dork on your Christmas list. Or if you
want to take a look at it first you can look at
