"SDF: Strange Patterns" The Content
If there's something I hate about comics (and this applies to comics from any era), it's that a large chunk of any given book is consumed by filler. You know, crap like advertisements, pin-ups, or long blathering monolouges (spell?) about how splendiferous the book and the creative people are. Ads are especially annoying, and have plagued comics since the olden days where shady companies tried to sell you X-Ray specs for five cents. We here at TORC Press believe that all 48 interior pages of our comics should be devoted to pure content. No fakes, no dyes, and no fillers. Sure, we've got a Hype Page, but we stick that on the inside back cover.
Long story short, SDF: Strange Patterns is an anthology style comic that tells a series of Noninterconnecting stories in 48 pages of glorious black and white. Here's the rundown--
-Cactus Joe the Clown- Cactus Joe and Pengy are getting ready to head to the comic shop to hopefully score the latest Grant Morrison mini-series, when a mysterious figure from Joe's past appears.
-Frimpy- A short day in the life of the TORCverse's most unluckiest character.
-Primative- Observe, National Geographic style, the bizarre frog smashing rituals of the Unnamed Tribe, and the horrible price that an outsider must pay for forbidden knowledge.
-Welcome to Mosquito Island- Reintroducing Halloween Man and Doom Harvest, now the Sheriff and Deputy of Mosquito Village, as they attempt to do their jobs while avoiding the annoyance of bueracratic red tape.
-Cosmic Fool- Almost a silent comic (there's a few words in an alien language), the Cosmic Fool learns a harsh lesson about picking up hitchhikers.
-King Smooth- Words can't properly describe the oddities contained within this story. Just think about Genocide Viruses, Human Puppets, and the Thirteenth Hour.
--In addition, there's a new Chupa-Chupa the Dancing Monkey of Love one page strip, as well as three pages of Cartoon Joseph Morris/Buzby the Fly strips.
Whew, that's a lotta stuff in one issue. I'm exhausted. Think I'll take a nap.

This looks to be pretty awesome. I can't wait.
I know you don't have ads, but if some company like Taco Bell or P.F. Flyers wanted to pay you to advertise in your books, would you?
