This was a very enjoyable issue, the reviews I had read accurately described the story and the feelings one would take from it. I vividly recall being a bad person. I vividly recall how you can learn to be a real person from being a bad person.
I could see the point, but if Laura Heaven had been quoting Housemartins lyrics all the way through, thus;
'It's Happy Hour again/I think I might be happy/if I wasn't out with them', etc, it might have been just as effective.
Hmmm, but isn't that a strength, that you don't necessarily need to be aquainted with the bands to understand the story? Or that they don't even have to be particularly good bands? I mean, Laura does a fair job describing what the music does to her, but I've heard that album and if there really is that level of depth and sophistication present I'll eat my cat (Phonogram has turned me on to a number of bands, but they can't all be winners I guess). I think it works regardless.
Also, I must apologize: I have purchased the hard copy of every issue thus far (including the trade, damn you), despite being poor and morally bankrupt, because I want to help you keep making comics for me. But there is no way to get Phonogram all the way out to Buttfuck Nowhere, Gyeongbuk Province, South Korea. So I stole it from the internet. Please keep making comics for me anyway? |
