Hutch told me to go get a hotel room that night, and I didn't understand. Then he mentioned that he didn't want a lot of my neighbors bothering me. I was starting...
...close of Rose's sophomore season, Cincinnati lost the pennant on the last day, but a more profound loss changed him.

Hart keeps the layouts clear but varied and adds some nice touches. The second Hutch story of the book, "Public Relations," has been colored in hues of rose, giving an ethereal tone to its tale of the plans for building a shopping center at the World Trade Center site and the ghosts that haunt it. One story, "The Future," about a time when email will...
...where Donald Trump can get his own reality TV series America badly needs "Hutch Owen: Unmarketable!" One of the few comic creators who daringly make art with a biased agenda, Tom Hart's roguish little conscience character makes for a stimulating acid against our base corporate culture. Short, ugly and abrasive, Hutch Owen is the anti-Pillsbury Dough Boy. Punch his tummy and he'll punch you back...
