Some free downloads here http://lastvisibledog.org/veryvic... - Just a side note it is really cool that some of these older independent comics are being offered as free downloads right now. This is an awesome way of seeing what was out and about in indy comics 10 - 20 years ago. - Comics Forge
http://www.zompist.com/bob9... This is strange stuff, but not in the way most alternative comics are strange-- that is, full of expressionistic violence or suicidal angst. It's more or less screwball comedy-- or perhaps, given the heavy and approving emphasis on drinking, a revival of The Thin Man. [Vicky, Cris] Vicky, a sophisticated New York girl who seems born about fifty years out of her era, arrives in Sandy Shores, Georgia, and makes a few local friends (steady Cris, artist/pop stand clerk Helmut, misfit Peggy) and enemies (Donna and her gang). Also, God has decided on a second incarnation, and wanders the beach as a 40ish nebbish, trying to figure out what's going on with these modern teens. The peace is threatened by a new set of villains-- the Shriners. ("Shall I rev up the tiny cars?") But Vicky is not without connections-- the Atomic Drinker, for instance, or Pea-Pickin' Patty. It never really becomes coherent, but it does have a quirky comic sensibility, and the side stuff-- house ads, letters-- is a blast. You can even learn how to make the perfect Old Fashioned. - Comics Forge
