Review: About Betty's Boob

By Hunter T. Patrick

Such a lovely message. Elisabeth is a woman who just lost her breast and hair after fighting a disease. She begins to be shunned by society, and even worse her significant other. He tries, he really does for her, but he cannot get over her having a single breast. She begins to have everyone turn against her and all values of beauty cause her to spiral worse and worse into loneliness and despair in society. Yep. Sounds pretty depressing. But as with all great tragedies there should be a little hope. This plays into hope. The metaphors are strong, and the social commentary is stronger. This is a book that unashamedly plays into femininity and beauty, it is all the stronger for not being afraid to put it all into its art.

Review: Rugrats #8

By Hunter T. Patrick

Those dumb babies. Rugrats #8 is a comic that continues to feature independent stories in each issue, resembling the classic cartoon series. This issue has a plot about Angelica wanting money for a Cynthia video game. To make the money she uses Phil and Lil’s abilities to make the grossest, ickiest mud pies around to sell for the pretty high price of a quarter. Angelica just wants all the quarters while the twins just want the highest quality of mud possible for their pies. Chaos ensues. This is indeed classic Rugrats.

Review: Garfield: Vacation Time Blues #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

Let’s start this review with the conclusion. Do not buy this comic. Price should not be a factor in most reviews, but if you are reading this and wondering, it is not worth the 7.99 price point. For the length it is (double sized comic) it should be 5.99 max, yet it is not. It contains two stories, the first average, the second poor. Garfield is a character who typically works best in small doses and one-liner (comic strips), not a comic of this size. They can only do the same jokes so many times. There are some good jokes in there, but those are few in between.
