Comic book: 10 € (Sold out)
First online punk comic blog now collected in this book. Pretty funny stuff, but you gotta know your punk bands.
Clem first achieved comic success, however, with two Minneapolis punk friends named Blake and Fletcher. Through the characters Clem pokes loving fun at the punk scene and its inconsistencies, all for a good joke. Dark Horse has published what amounts to a Vol. 2 collection of the strip (though for reason Clem doesn’t fully explain, a Vol. 1 does not yet exist), now in what Clem calls the less-environmentally friendly but more artistically credible format of print.
The strips pick up after one of Nothing Nice’s hiatuses, and runs from those originally published online in Jan. 2005 through Sept. 2006, but also includes a few from early 2007 and a few early strips with explanation to help those unfamiliar catch up on the background. Putting forth the effort to jumpstart new readers rather than just releasing a Vol. 1 collection first is a bit baffling, but it is still a solid collection, supplemented by guest strips Clem did for other comics like “Joe and Monkey.” Many of the strips hold inside jokes that only members of the punk scene will fully comprehend, but for that niche crowd, Clem’s comic is undeniably the best.
