SHORT STACK 2

Reviewed by Rick BradfordInserted into every copy of the fourth issue of the
Wide Awake anthology were original sketches by Duane Ballenger.
Short Stack 2 is the second collection of drawings from that batch. It's a fun idea and encourages me to just doodle, actually (I've got perfection and impatience issues). Being that it's a collection of doodles, it's a little light on content but if you've read this far you already know if you'd be interested or not, and if you are, then heavy content probably isn't a priority for you. Like I said, it's fun. My favorite bits are the deranged-looking Frankenstein, most of the pencil-drawn stuff and the muppet-y type characters that Duane's fond of drawing. Another thing to note is the production of this mini. If the kids at Wide Awake know anything it's how to make a swell-looking publication.
