5.0 out of 5 stars I love Carol Lay, January 29, 2001

This review is from: Strip Joint (Paperback)
I first became acquainted with Carol Lay's alternative comic strip "Story Minute" a couple of years ago through Salon.com. Each strip tells a "Twilight Zone"-esque story in a 12-panel comic format, and they're written so superbly that Rod Serling himself would be proud. Once you read a "Story Minute" strip, you'll never go back to Garfield again.

This collection of 102 black-and-white "minutes" are representative of the high-quality artwork and writing I've come to expect. The book is quality bound and certain to last for years to come. It's difficult to find the book in print, but well worth the effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars I also love Carol Lay, March 5, 2002

If you're looking for an experimental style of comics, check out Story Minute. Lay uses minimal dialogue, narative and pictures to tell unique stories, and the technique works very well. Think of each strip as a short story, comic-strip style.

I'm a big fan of Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, Foxtrot, and Dilbert. Lay's style is certainly much different from most, but bears a lot of similarity to these strips in originality, other-worldliness, and humor.
