SNAKE MEAT #1 & 2

Reviewed by Rick BradfordThese minis are compilations from Max Clotfelter's (
Vittle Chin) sketchbooks. I'm a fan of his work and of sketchbook collections in general, so
Snake Meat gets a thumbs-up from me. Max tends to focus on not-so-pleasant aspects of reality (and fantasy) in a cartoony fashion and he does it well. Every square inch of these minis is packed with texture-rich ugliness — a beautiful sort of ugliness, you understand. If you enjoy looking at artists' sketchbooks, this work deserves your attention. And when you order these, be sure to bug Max about publishing more comics!
