STAFF PICKS :: TODD THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH #03 :: MARCH 13, 2013
  JUSTIN’S PICK :: TODD THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH #03 : When the first issue of this little gem debuted a while back, I was skeptical. The logo was kinda weak, and the cover wasn’t very enticing. I mean, what the heck is this book even about? In the end, however, curiosity got the better of me…and I’m glad it did. The titular Todd is only part of the story; in fact, he is simply a foil for the cast of dark and dysfunctional characters. This is somewhere between the Bros. Coen and Farrelly in tone, boasting well-crafted linework doused with appropriately drab hues. It’s not a particularly heartwarming or enlightening book, but it is entertaining (provided your sense of humor is a bit skewed).
