...most suburban comix to be found in the alternative market. His regular series Or Else has been reviewed by TIME.comix, and he specializes in small-scale narratives of riding bikes or bringing home the groceries that end up becoming part of larger cosmological considerations. His principal character, a bland looking guy in his late twenties(?) named Glenn Ganges, sports softball T-shirts, drives a compact car and spends his leisure time at home with his wife Wendy, reading books...
