Comic monologues dense with allusions to history, literature, and cinema. Some of these allusions are blatant, some are cyptic. Some of the historical events are true, some are false, and some are combinations of fact and fiction. None of the stories involve superfluous depictions of sex, violence, or even attractive women. The comics are aesthetically simple, and very little regard is paid to commercial standards of what comics should look like; my handwriting is messy, my characters are simply drawn, and they don't even look particularly consistent throughout the stories. The stories are all more than usually wordy.

When hunting rats with a dog, ferret or stick, it is advisable to tuck-in trouser bottoms with may otherwise be used as bolt-holes.
