A mini-comic set of some notebooky doodles from Simmons.
This doesn’t claim to be anything besides that, and is only a $1; the cut and paste zineyness is appealing, and I always appreciate how Simmons is cool with opening the doors to his brain to give us sketches that can be personal (quick portraits) or perverse (odd creatures sticking genetalia out and about), seemingly without much filter.
Still, this is a purposefully teeny tiny package: the cut-and-paste cuts off some text, and the amount of material can’t be enough to be more than just a collector’s interest; if picked up at a show, I can’t imagine this being the sole piece to sell me on Simmons.
(Yes, again, acknowledging… it’s only a buck!)
