This a book of visual stories that pay homage to the style underground comics. The visuals are engaging and tell each viewer their own story. There is a foreword by Parabola editor Lee Van Laer. "Reaching out into the imaginal, he has created what Ibn ‘Arabi would call a barzakh—a reconciling bridge—which occupies the gap between material reality and the world of ideas. —Lee Van Laer; from the Foreword Very good use of black line, cross-hatching and shading to create the illusion of depth. Contrary to what the authoritative critics of modern art assert, “illusion” is not a bad thing, as far as I’m concerned. — R. Crumb …some really beautiful, trippy drawings.—Peter Kuper, author of "Stop Forgetting to Remember" “Wisdom lies in seeing humor on the edge of things. Mr. Zeines draws from the imaginary his impossibly funny bits of wisdom.” — David Appelbaum, Publisher, Codhill Press I'm amazed by the ability to create line and shade in such detail. Yet each shape, face, eye, and hand has its unique expression, no matter the context. Every line says something of the emotion conveyed, or lack thereof. Nose wrinkles, facial lines, hair, ears, syrup from the mouth, verbal excrement, toes, the light audience looking on. I feel my mouth stretching, wanting to release the cosmic circles as they swim away, returning to the jumbled earth. — Peter Kunaholm, reader
