I think the gimmick of time stopping only detracts from this comic. It has a solid casual romance story: two weirdoes with shitty jobs meet up, fall in love, explore their suprising sexual compatability, try to avoid fucking everything up. I mean, do you really need to add time stopping orgasms to that? Oh well. ( )

Equal parts absurdity and compelling, likable characters. Hats off to my library for buying it! ( )

What a unique story line! I enjoyed the use of colors to represent different things happening within the story. The two main characters are fun and likable. I'm interested to see how the story progresses as it ended on a cliff hanger. ( )

interesting set up. I liked the art. hilarious signs and stuff in the background. not totally invested in the story or the characters though and I'm not sure why not.. ( )

Yes, it’s bonkers.

Yes, it’s crude (certainly the most dildos-per-page, or dpp, I’ve ever seen)

But it’s also hilarious, highly entertaining, and surprisingly heartwarming. Our two main characters are incredibly endearing, and a series of interspersed flashbacks fill in the necessary character development. The story has a wild premise, but it’s grounded by layers of authenticity. The coming of age, the new romance excitement, the treatment of maturity, relationship, and self - all of it was written in strokes that I could relate to on various levels (despite the sheer audacity presented in some of the scenes)

And speaking of strokes...oh cmon now.

I’m talking about the artwork. Which is great. Which is perfectly detailed in most of the panels and wonderfully magical in the scenes portraying what Susie calls the “Quiet Place” (I’m not repeating what Jon calls it).

All in all this is a fun series and I’m intrigued as to where it will go next! ( )
