Dithering Doodles # 2,3,4,5

Dithering Doodles seems like the type of comic you create when you let your inner child / adolescent out to play. Steven sent me a generous package of goodies including five
issues of Dithering Doodles and two
cds! I’m not much of a comics enthusiast, so I’m definitely not the target
audience (although some of these issues have a zine-like feel). There’s a manic
energy at work here, with each issue having a slightly different pacing and
ambiance.
Issue #2 has a running gag about who gets the boot from Dancing with the Stars and some surreal
artwork that made me stop in my tracks (in a good way). Beware of the attack of
the easy bake ovens!
Number three is almost wordless and is better for it – it
feels less busy and more focused. Issue four is radio related (yes!) with a great
cover from KNAK 1280 AM Salt Lake
City ’s “music and news
station”. Mix in some retro photographs, references to one of the best psych
pop songs of all time “Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow” & voila – instant
classic. Issue five sports a color photograph but feels a little
redundant in comparison with the others. Overall, Dithering Doodles features consistently entertaining though ephemeral content.
