I like the perspective Halo and Sprocket bring to human issues (my favorite stories being The Little Things and But is it Art..?) but wish to see a full story with this cast, rather than short stories. I read them all in one sitting and enjoyed them, but couldn't remember most of the various plot points once I had finished.

Simple and cute, if not terribly memorable.

http://nhw.livejournal.com/941945.html[return][return]A bunch of stories about a young woman whose flatmates are an angel and a robot. The contrast between their two totally different takes on the human race is both funny and lightly philosophical, a sort of double-act of Candide or Mork (or, I suppose, a variation on Third Rock from the Sun). Well recommended.

I may have mentioned that I’m not crazy about didactic fiction, and Halo & Sprocket is basically that in comic form. Human customs are so wacky and illogical! You probably haven’t noticed, so here are a robot and an angel to point it out to you! Repeatedly!

I don't know how to describe this, other than hilarious.

This was adorable and hilarious. And more like comic strips than comic books, so you can loan it to anyone. Nice observational humor.

Simple, cute little vignettes. And a bonus Jim Mahfood take on Halo and Sprocket in the back!

One of the cleverest comics I have ever read. This will have you rolling on the floor laughing.

This is really funny in a vaudeville way. A woman, robot, and alien just hanging out. So fun!
