Brooks Comics

This is a collection of a half a dozen or so animated stories. The mass of the images is photocopies of ink drawings on lined paper, and the layout is very roomy. Adam prefaces his comic by conceding its self-indulgence, which he proves moments later by suggesting that you fuck off if you don’t like it. There is a sense of serious vanity that coats the entire comic book. And although the drawing is able, all the images are self-serving, undermining the sincerity of the text. (Sincerity not being an obvious commodity in the exploration of the magic of weed, dude.)
