Comix Reading List #59-60: Bones Pulp Mini Comics + You Think You Are Meditating...

58. BONES PULP MINI COMIC (Steven Solomon

59. YOU THINK YOU ARE MEDITATING BUT WE CAN HEAR YOU SNORE/EAT AN ONION LIKE AN APPLE
This is the first time anyone has sent comics in to the blog, so thanks to Speed Paste Robot aka Steven Solomon. It's an added bonus that these two books are all around excellent art objects and comix.

I'm not a reviewer, but I would call this visual poetry. It looks like automatic or found writing paired with imagery to move the narrative forward. Solomon brings the reader into the narrative experience by using blacks to obscure panels, repeating images, and scrambling words. That's just my own inference, Solomon carefully constructs his words and pictures to be open to interpretation. 

These are exactly the sorts of comix that I'm looking for every week, and I recommend you follow Steven Solomon as Speed Paste Robot on bluesky or check out their store at the first link above.
