The popular, idiosyncratic, and philosophical Navel Gazer strips are collected into one oblong mini-comic.  The antithesis of a Jack Chick tract, these strips try to examine the absurdities in life.  Drawn in with an expressive and painterly style, Allen offers his unique take on many of the big questions in the game we call "life".

Mature.  22 page, b&w, saddle-stitched mini (2.5" x 5.5"), $2.00 US.  Product ID: ALL-NG01.

"For anyone who does not believe in the talent of independent creators, this is the book to change your mind."  ~Eliot Johnson, Broken Frontiers, 11/11/04 (go to full review)

A Stand-Out Piece

"Lonnie Allen's "USA WAR Instruction Manual" is reminiscent of the agitprop to be found for the past couple of decades in World War Three Illustrated, using a clip-art style to comment on out-of-control U.S. aggression quite pointedly.  [Allen's and Matt Dembecki's] are the stand out pieces..." ~ Alan David Doane, Comic Book Galaxy 10/28/04 (go to full review)
