Good Eggs
Egg Story
Creator: J. Marc Schmidt
Slave Labor Graphics, 44 pages, black and white, $3.95
So? This is a hard one to describe, but here goes: A bunch of sweet, young eggs (yes, eggs, like you'd eat at Denny's) escape from the fridge and try to find a home in a hostile world. Along the way, they deal with a hostile world made for humans, but manage to go on a spending spree and have fun. That is, until one of their number, who cracked his shell in their escape, goes rotten, loses his mind and commits suicide. It goes on from there to include ninjas, but you get the idea. Schmidt, an Australian creating his first comics work, has created a sweet, silly and funny story about growing up. His art is simple (eggs with smiley faces) and effective. The writing is heartfelt and the humor is the sort of thing you might expect from Pixar, though with a slightly darker edge. Grade: B+
