Slop: Anacleta Book

A neurotic, hipster, single mom visits her mom in Florida where she feels like the neighbors are out to get her. Overall nothing of real consequence happens. It has that Daniel Clowes or Gilbert Hernandez vibe to it, only not as interesting. I was much more interested in the two backup stories that were included where the same woman's ex-husband is Dracula and she's some kind of demon. Those were the off the rails kind of madness I enjoy. Too bad they weren't the main focus of the story. The art had that Hernandez brothers, indie comic vibe to it. Although Tommaso needs to learn to draw his characters in side profile. Their faces are still looking forward even as their heads are partially turned. It's really off putting.
