Apparently this might already be out in bookstores. I really like McDonnell's comic strip, with its odd sense of whimsy and creative visuals. I imagine the odds are good that my library system will get some copies of this, so I'll check it out. It'll be interesting to see what he does with a longer narrative, better production and a more flexible format.
