Found out about this comic through Shaenon Garrity, who drew one of the comics for this collection. When it comes to (indie) comics, I generally enjoy these anthology-type of works. I'm still not fully familiar with all of the big 'names' so by reading anthologies, I get a sampling of the artists whose works I like and who I may eventually look up and follow when I get the time.

The book's premise is actually cute. I know I've browsed through the missed connections section of Craigslist, and made up stories in my head about what the encounter was all about. This book takes that idea and lets the various artists run with it -- some of them funny, some creepy and plain out weird, and some even melancholy.

A quick read, and will be totally appealing to the people who just enjoy reading short little stories. ( )
