Palindramas is as amusing backwards as it is forwards.
Palindrome- n. a word, phrase, or sentencethat reads the same backward and forward. The idea is so simple, yet oh so complicated. Just the mere fact that such a comic can provide entertainment with just the words alone is amazing. Some of the comics are one panel gags with a simple illustration of the palindrome. Other comics may contain several. My favorites, however, are the comics in which a scenario is provided leading up to the puch line: a new palindrome. "'Read now!', won dear."

Beautiful through its tragedy.
This surely is a rare kind of comic, and one that must be checked out immediately. There are only four instalments (thus far) and each one is truly beautiful. These are tragic pieces my friends, and this is the kind of tragedy one could only find in classic European art films - those rare moments which make you not only feel like weeping, but awestruck at the inherent beauty. I really don't know what else to say. If you like films by such luminaries as Fellini or possibly Godard, I suggest you take the time to peruse Max Peter's wares. You won't regret it, and if you're anything like me, it'll add a bit of deeper meaning to your day.

I can't begin to explain the effect Ms. Barr's work has had on me. Despite the fastastic elements (of which there are no few) her stories and deeply moving, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, frequenly both at once.
Many, many moons ago, I stumbled across Stinz: Family Values, and was immediately impressed. Long story short: I went and found every Stinz collection I could, and along the way met this Desert Peach guy, too. And watching Desert Peach move from farcical comedy to human drama was, no hyperbole, dumbfouding. I really truly did feel like a bomb had gone off in my brain. Like so many of her fans, I couldn't help but wish that somehow, somewhere they might meet. ('cause believe me, the half-horse and the gay nazi could have quite a conversation--they're both veterans) And now, years later, those prayers are answered! READ IT!
