Second is a lot like reading someone's dairy. It's also a lot like those Russian cartoons where people are chased by buildings, for no apparent reason. Some pages are barely more than sketchbook drawings, while others are fully realised strips. It's almost like a jam session between two artists.
There's no credit for who did what, but I suspect the whimsical, lighter (in design) pages are Simone's, while the darker, brooding strips are Tom's; and they bounce well off each other.
Most of Simone's work is fun, and deeper than it first appears. I particularly like Monkey Nut & Harrowed Marrow and the one about The Daddy & The Bunny. Her style is loose (maybe too loose in places), a bit like Purple Ronnie, and in fact would fit well on cards or T-shirts.
Tom's best piece here is Outside, tho' End Of Season Finale about two wrestlers killing time before the big match, has it's moments. His style is dense and detailed and bounces well off of Simone's work.
Both artists seem interested with small moments, and with feeling more than plot or characters.
I may be the wrong person to review this, as I prefer character over everything. As self-expression it's fine, and it's very well produced, but I don't actually feel that connected to it.
