Customer Reviews

Don't let the title turn you away its not morose.

This could be 5 stars. I loved the stories but there's something about his presentation of them that irks me but the last one was A+++ GREAT Tatsumi weirdo story! I like the way he draws people steady, clean and realistic with some adorable glimpses of Charles Shultz mixed in BUT the backgrounds look like they're props. Unless you pulled an super-cool dad and had a daughter do it- If you're not going to leave it black and white hire a colorist! Zero exaggeration: worst coloring job I've seen in digital era! (Unless it was a kid which I heartily applaud) -StrictlySequential (goodreads)
