Editorial Reviews
Review
Ben Snakepit draws stories about love, punk, Texas, forties, infatuation, dragons, diarrhea, and more with a thoughtful truthfulness that many other authors may be unable to handle. Alongside entertaining and enlightening, Ben is honest about weakness, vulnerability, girls, bands and dirty habits- unlike many suave authors who disguise imperfection with big words. Ben keeps it real and shows no means of pretension. Besides that, I hate him, because I bought him a pot brownie once and it didn't even make him high. --Cristy Road<br /><br />Every day Ben would come back from band practice or getting drunk or working at the record store and do a three-panel autobio strip about his day. At first they seem sloppily drawn and irrelevant but after about 400 strips you see a greater truth, an overall pattern. You see how bored we get, how wasted we get, and how we always break up with people for no reason. Ben's sh*tty comics have created a book that's impossible to put down, with lessons usually reserved for more pretentious art. --Vice Magazine

Ben Snakepit continues his idiosyncratic adventures with this fresh volume of strips!,
By C. O. Aptowicz (NYC, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Life in a Jugular Vein: Three More Years of Snakepit Comics (Paperback)
A first glance, the comic diaries of Ben Snakepit seem incredibly disposable. The manic protagonist / author spends most of his time drinking, partying, lamenting about his drinking & partying, eating touring, working and falling in love with a string of girls who always seem to pale in comparison to a beautiful ex. But what could have easy been redundant and infuriating, instead becomes funny, honest and remarkable fresh in the hands of Ben Snakepit. Three tough years are condensed into meaty volume, and you can watch the consequence of each action he makes unravel at a seemingly breakneck pace. Bands break-up and reunite, tours inspire and crush, hearts surge and break, and in the center of it all is the wry Ben. This book is wonderful love letter about what it means to be a young and brash musician deep in the heart of Austin of Texas.
