Pulpatoon Pilgrimage

by Joel Priddy

Three friends - a minotaur, a goldfish in a robotic human body, and a humanoid plant - meander through empty vistas on a gradually revealed quest, talking about life, nature, sex, parents, and much more. Will they ever say what they left behind in favor of this uncharted pilgrimage?

[Samantha · Rating 3 out of 5]

Small, and very strange, though enjoyably. We encounter our three heroes (or something) on a pilgrimage (or so the title says). We don't know quite where they're going, but as with many such stories, it's all about the journey, and the end becomes a mirage when you think you're getting close. A fun little comic and a very quick read. Similar to the wizard of oz, but more poignant.

A bit episodic, but powerful. Why isn't Joel Priddy already an international cartooning superstar?

More of a meditation than a narrative. A Möebius strip of a story, you could probably start at any chapter and end at any chapter and have a different but equally compelling story. A great use of the B&W comics form.

So good
