Fatally Ill Astronaut Funnies back

From the Page 45 Comicbook Of The Month creator of NOTHING BUT OPTIMISM ABOUT WHAT'S COMING and the WET NURSE comics.

FATALLY-ILL ASTRONAUT FUNNIES is a staple-free, fold-out farce in which an astronaut stranded at least two weeks away in space... is reminded that he has only one week's supply of oxygen, but not to worry because his blood tests came back and he'll be dead in a few days anyway.

"Sigh."

There's so much semi-stoical sighing - punctuating five of the seven instalments wherein an improbable legacy is created over through misconception (a la De Crecy's GLACIAL PERIOD) - that I was put wistfully in mind of Lizz Lunney's Depressed Cat.

Sigh.

Woodhead's my fav self-publishing find since Joe Decie - and there is indeed the same sort twinkle when looking through his autobiographical eye, the framing of each panel on the page is just as robust, and the lettering's lovely to boot.
