I picked up a couple of collections of local CT artist Luke Foster's web strips at Comiconn the other day.I decided to read Gang first because it is simply a collected edition of a web strip he had done a few years back,and it was a quick read.The basic premise is every strip is a four panel recreation of a true event that took place while working at a comic shop.Having spent too much time in a comic shop many of the stories were funny and rang true,while several fell flat.Foster is a pretty simple cartoonist,which suits the comic strip's nature perfectly,and is quite witty,which never translated into belly laughs,but at least lended some good humor to the whole thing.An enjoyable read,especially if you spend any time in the comic store.On a side note,Luke seems to be a real polite guy who was appreciative that I took interest in his work,if you see him at a convention,support him and keep indie guys going too.
