Wet Nurse #1 back

From the Page 45 Comicbook Of The Month creator of FATALLY-ILL ASTRONAUT FUNNIES and NOTHING BUT OPTIMISM ABOUT WHAT'S COMING.

Woodhead does feline funny too, but confounds expectations of what constitutes a cat comic, for as Jeffrey Brown eschewed the cute for the truth, and Jamie Smart's LOOSHKIN brought self-absorbed, oblivious, bright blue terrorism to kids' comics, so Woodhead's precarious, one-sided relationship with his serial-killer cat called Kirby gives us dead-pan dour instead.

It's not nonchalance; its indifference, implacability and very, very funny.

Sprinkled between these in WET NURSE #1 come medical matters, musings on mortality (guerrilla aftermath activity), and much on Mary Magdalene. Oh, and an unusually empathic answer to assault-by-zombie.

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.
