A Music Paper #2

My problem with the last comic I read by AM was that it was more just a series of comments and asides in comic form, a sort of commentary on modern life. This one suffers from the same problem in that there isn’t really any narrative. Instead we’re presented with a number of characters who just talk about music in its various forms.

Okay, yes, that is what it says on the cover, and the fake band names (“Pacifist Cheese Hostel”) are pretty amusing, but I do like AM’s art quite a lot, and I really am interested to see him actually develop the characters in his comics instead of having them act as one dimensional mouth pieces about one particular thing. Maybe next time.

I really want to have something to say about this comic, but I don’t. The comics themselves are competent enough, if predictable: ew chavs, ew hipsters, expressing your individuality through buying things is kind of stupid, TV is dumb but I watch it anyway, fast food is bad for you but I eat it anyway, I like that girl but don’t know what to do, let’s go to the pub, I wish something exciting would happen but I’m also kind of happy with my boring life.

However, I really enjoy the art. It’s cartoony, somewhat simplistic, and everyone seems oddly round, but I dug it for some reason. I’ll be on the lookout for AM’s other comics, hopefully they’ll have more in depth plots.
