I can’t believe it. I am an anal retentive bastard who never forgets, misses or is late for anything, and I totally fell prey to the curse that is Shiner’s List of Doom. Granted, the internerd in my part of town has gone all crazy spaz so I didn’t even know I had a review to do, but even so, I hang my head in shame.
But finally, here we are. Now, a little while back, someone joked about/suggested doing reviews as Haikus. Even as skilled as I am, I wouldn’t dare attempt that but I thought I would go down the Mr London Street and give the 100 Word Post a bash here. I wouldn’t want Becky to feel ripped off with a scarcity of words, so if requested, I will cheat a little and elucidate in the comments. . .
Pish Posh and Such: A 100 Word Review
Becky, when I dug back into your archives you didn’t charm me. It was travel updates and ‘this place is soooo beautiful’. Blah and meh. When you started drawing, I was charmed. I felt young, silly, guilty and nosey. Delighted I remained at your off-beat style of cartoon and your whimsical, everyday observations. I could almost forgive that you spelled obesity as obesidy and salute as solute.
Alas - where are your fans? Many a muppety reviewee has legions while someone actually worth liking, such as yourself, is bereft of comments. I hope this review can change that for you.
PS: ‘4 Stars’ is not included in my 100 words, just in case you were wondering. Or counting. Neither is the title.
PPS: Do you like how my Intro of Shame is longer than the actual review?
I'm back and forth. I want her to write things because I read blogs for writing.
ReplyDeleteBut this had the best caption, so now I have to scroll through fucking everything. Goddammit.
Loved the review, loved the artist.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I could do the 100 word review. I don't think I could curb my impulse to be clever and I am not good enough to be clever and brief.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I met Mr. London Street when I was in England last month. He and his wife are charming. Also charming? These drawings. I love them.
ReplyDeleteHEYYO! Thanks for the gentle review (aside from the embarrassing typos, of course). I am pleased that I (more likely my drawings) appear to be charming over the world wide web. Guess I need some followers + comments now...eh? eh?
ReplyDeleteI really liked the blog, so I am glad to see it getting such a good review. I tend to agree with Shinerpunch, I read blogs for writing rather than drawings (don't start me on Hyperbole And A Half or I'll be here all day) but this blog might be the exception that proves the rule.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nod to my 100 Word posts. And HiF, that's very kind of you to say.
I like the 100 word thing. Well done, sir.
ReplyDeletebrrrrrr realz
ReplyDeleteTwitter puts too many limits on my verbosity, but a 100-word post might be a good challenge. I like.
ReplyDeleteWhere are you now, LB? Same blog? If not, will you send a link to me at thecusp@yahoo.com??
ReplyDeleteWhere's the next review? I'm jonesin' here.
ReplyDeleteAre you planning on reviewing soon? They moved me to another wing, and they do not have TV here so I have little to do.
ReplyDeleteDid someone ram a short bus into your secret underground chamber and empty a magazine on all you folks? Where is the next review?
ReplyDeleteYeah! Hurry up already you lot. Is blog reviewing hard or something.....?
