Synopsis
Jason unleashes his inner Scandinavian goofball with these hilarious collections. After six books that have ranged from tragedy to thriller to melodrama, Jason is back with this rollicking collection of shorter pieces. God, the Devil, mummies, vampires, zombies, werewolves, reanimated skeletons, space invaders, Death, cavemen, Godzilla and Elvis populate these often wordless blackout gags, side by side with Jason's usual anthropomorphic protagonists.

Customer Reviews

Purr
The book is a lot thicker than Jason's books, being the size of about 3 of his usual sized books combined. It's a shame his publishers have temporarily stopped printing copies but I suspect as with the recent repub of Sshhhh! that it won't be long before we see this as well as "Tell Me Something" and "The Iron Wagon" being reissued.

Unlike a number of Jason's other books, this isn't a 48 page comics novella but rather an assortment of 1 or 2 page stories involving aliens, cavemen, Elvis impersonators, mummies, zombies, skeletons, and vampires to name a few. The tone is very light hearted and funny with running gags involving the Caveman whacking women over the head with a club and dragging them back to his cave, the Vampire looking for a change to his routine, the Alien abducting people, and the Zombie couple eating different people. Though it has no overall narrative it shows Jason's superb ability at telling a story within a few panels without words. Also included is a short story involving mummies.
