Small stuff makes headlines at the "Wheatstone Mercury," a provincial English newspaper and the locus of Andi Watson's "Slow News Day" (Slave Labor Graphics; 24pp.; $3.50each) whose sixth and final issue appeared last week. Watson has simultaneously released a single-issue novella, "Dumped" (Oni Press; 56pp.; $5.95), which along with SND and last year's "Breakfast After Noon," (see TIME.comix review) make a loose trilogy about the lives of England's urban, middle-class singles.

This is not a dorm room. It might be different if he were in a long-term relationship. But there could be 10 of them before that. And I don't want a string, a parade of these young women." And what does Joel think? "I don't think this is as big a deal as they make...
...independent artists, while also appealing to the audience of those alternative works. (And perhaps breath some life into stale characters?) Some of the better-known indy "names" included in the project are Eddie Campbell ("From Hell"), Gilbert Hernandez ("Love and Rockets"), Tony Millionaire ("Maakies"), Paul Pope ("Heavy Liquid") and Andi Watson ("Breakfast After Noon"), along with about fifty others.
