Front Cover (Left)

A heartwarming story of a beautiful

princess alone on a desert island (Left)

With something this short you have time for a visceral reaction and that's pretty much it, and I liked this one a lot. It's the tale of a princess who's shipwrecked on an island with a man who she completely ignores. Funny stuff, if a bit pricey at $2 (hey, it's tiny) [actually it's $1.50], and definitely worth checking out. I just found the Squid Works website, and there are all kinds of comics there. Looks like Tom has done all kinds of comics, so I should be able to tell you a lot more about the guy if I ever get any money that doesn't go right to rent or food again any time soon. I didn't see this on the Squid Works page [it's right here ;)], but e-mail the guy and the see if he has any laying around. ~Whitey, Optical Sloth 3/18/05 (go to review)

"Very well drawn dark tale about being invisible to a woman." -- Jeff Zenick, White Buffalo Gazette

"Boy, haven't we all felt that way once in a while. I thought the 'Mail This to Someone Who Hurt You' bit was hilarious." -- Michel Vrana, Black Eye Design
