“As with any issue of š!, this one is a wide mix of largely experimental comics that runs the gamut of styles and approaches, but always represents a curated whole that mirrors the experience of going to see a gallery show in comics form.”

The Comics Beat reviews the transportive Crawl Space Jesse Jacobs.

“Jacobs does a great job in walking the line between a emotionally realistic teenage drama and an abstract cautionary fable about the different things people want out of life.” — John Seven, The Comics Beat

The Comics Beat reviews Eleanor Davis’ trip along an “expansive bike path” You & A Bike & A Road.

“Davis’ diary is also about the physical side of emotional healing and the factor of endurance—really challenging yourself to do things that border on impossible—in that healing.” — John Seven, The Comics Beat

The (Werewolf) Prince And The Pea by John Seven Via Flickr: The Princess And The Pea was a literary fairy tale by the great Dane Hans Christian Andersen, first translated into English by Charles Boner who added two more peas. The story tells of a prince who wants to marry a princess, but is having difficulty finding a suitable wife. Something is always wrong with those he meets, and he cannot be certain they are real princesses because they have bad table manners or they are too fat or thin or not beautiful. One stormy night a young woman drenched with rain seeks shelter in the prince's castle. She claims to be a princess, so the prince's mother decides to test their unexpected, unwitting guest by placing a pea in the bed she is offered for the night, covered by 20 mattresses and 20 feather-beds. In the morning, the guest tells her hosts that she endured a sleepless night, kept awake by something hard in the bed that she is certain has bruised her. The prince rejoices. Only a real princess would have the sensitivity to feel a pea through such a quantity of bedding, so the two are married. The story ends with the pea being placed in a museum, where according to the storyteller it can still be seen today, unless someone has removed it.
