    Tin Cans and Strings by Flaherty and Saariaho

    7:06 AM by S. Cartisano 0 Comments



    The rain keeps coming and coming and there is little Tim and Frank, employees of a local telephone provider, can do to stop the flooding waters. Fortunately for them, writer Patrick J. Flaherty comes to their rescue: “What are flares & floods compared to a shrug? They'd bring the phones back, even if it was just tin cans and string.” I bet you’re wondering what Patrick means. I know I am and that’s why I’m going to read Patrick and artist Jacob Saariaho next installment of “Tin Cans and Strings”. You should too because I’m not going to tell you what happens!

When his son is born without most of his brain, he becomes the perfect candidate for the Alkehine’s Gun project.

Now his son has finally spoken. Join artist and writer Joel Gill as he delves into the mystery of Alkehine’s Gun and humanity.

    Robot 11-Three features the tale of Robot 11-Three! What? You want more? Okay, he’s an assassin! What do you mean you don’t believe me? I’ve seen his work! I’ve read the first installment. Yes, he assassinated. That’s what assassins do, right? No, I don’t know what happens next but I expect the body count to rise! He isn’t a Disney character, after all. Well, yes, Robot 11-Three does look like a soda can. What’s your point? You’re just saying. You’re just saying! I give up! There’s no pleasing you! Everything everyone says about you behind your back is true! You don’t appreciate quality entertainment! You don’t deserve to read Kevin Kilgore’s Robot 11-Three! Go away. Wait, one more thing, Robot 11-Three reads this blog. I’m sure he didn’t take anything you wrote personal. He’s an assassin and I’m sure he's a very reasonable robot. Faily sure. Actually, I don't have a freaking clue. Sleep tight.

    In the tradition of Joseph Campbell, join space flea Flek and creator Erik Heumiller on a grand adventure. Somewhere in space, within the fur of Gordo, a lost, NASA-trained, squirrel monkey; lies the world of Flek. With his oversized legs and small second arms, Flek is unlike the others and they never let him forget it. He is different for a reason; like his deceased mother and her people; fleas from Earth who are now missing. A quest awaits him. Somewhere within the fur of Gordo are fleas very much like him and acceptance he seeks.

    Killer wood. Driftwood written and drawn by Morgan Pielli is about killer logs. No kidding. Don’t believe me? Fine, share the same fate as Clark and Bill, see if I care.
    Can’t you walk in the woods anymore without having to worry about machete wielding psycho, banjo wielding hillbillies, ghosts, witches, books of dead, deadites, wolves, werewolves, bears, mutant bears, and now killer wood? What is this story doing in Outbound? It’s Hellbound creepy.

    Illustration by Jerel Dye.
    Life can be challenging but when faced with problems, it’s best to face them head on than to run. The creative team of Roho, Dave Myers, and Steve Willhite, examine a man who thought jumping into his Black Fuska and driving away from his life would be the solution he needed. Instead, one dark night, a lonely stretch of road leads to three days lost, a factory’s destruction, and vengeful and powerful factory owner. You’ll never look at missing time and a black Volkswagon Beatle the same way again.
