Can I just say that Justin Peterson’s Very Near Mint nearly made me weep with joy on the bus yesterday because it’s so good? Yeah, I can. This is like my dream comic book. It’s like the lost seventh episode of Clerks: The Animated Series in book form. It’s got Hold Steady t-shirts. It’s brilliant and hilarious.
