Combines the mundane interactions of everyday life with existential dissections of what it is that holds life together.

Succeeds at a common failure: to make nothing happening interesting, to show that nothing never happens. Also nails the fauve-doodle-lofi-brut style. The protagonist’s daydreams are real streams of consciousness, giant A2 spreads of quite violent strobing thoughts. He gets carried away - the explanation he is giving someone stops being a speech bubble and becomes the entire page, 6 entire pages of self-reference and self-answering. Then there’s his infodump on his neighbours, friendly physics diagrams and gentle overwhelming debunking which also leads him into himself. Likeable and avant-garde, and how often does that happen?
