Here it is - I think its rather nice in a "this guy very well might be a pretentious w*nker, but I'll certainly give him the benefit of the doubt for now" kind of a way.

"The Gilded Trapezoid by J.Edward Scott

I fear I have literally no idea how to review this lot. Most of the strips I have very little idea what theyre about. A few plays with dimension in form that remind me of the work of Malcy Duff. Line structure and puns similar to those of Ralph Kidson. Visual emotives similar to Stephen Merchant and Matt Abbis. Its relying mostly on a dominance of white space against the black lines that mark out form. Otherwise I can't mention a notion of what its conveying or how well its doing it. (One minimalist piece involving temperature aside) There are pictures to look at that I found interesting but its a fecker to review.

I'm really chuffed with the Matt Abbis comment - that guy is a big old beautiful genius.

Clearly you're blowing the people's minds and they're not quite ready for you Ed and thus an explanation for the meaning of that emoticon icon is so gained. :-)

Thanks for the nice comment Chris.

Having had time to consider, I think the reviewer was left little cold because aburdist stuff is pretty hard to say anything definative about, which is understandable. Ultimatly you either get it or you don't. Having said that he was being a little po faced - but that reviewers for you I suppose...

I'm going to plug away regardles, but it was novel to get reviewed. How goes things you end?
