I'm just gonna say it right off the bat, Tom Horacek could be the next Gary Larson. One panel cartoons that comment on the obsurdity of everyday life...or just eloborate on silly puns. Sounds pretty Far Side to me. These cartoons definitely have a trademark character form as well. Tom is from Vancouver. Thick is from Vancouver. We think we get Tom's humour. But we don't doubt you'll get a good laugh even if you're not from Vancouver. The title, All We Ever Do Is Talk About Wood, might sound odd but when you see the two beavers chillin' on the front it makes perfect sense. I could explain a joke or two but then I'd be cheating you out of a laugh better enjoyed in Tom's world of static bobble-heads. I don't know if these one-offs are syndicated in any papers yet but if not, I'd be suprised. Either way, this is the first time you can get a Tom Horacek collection. These comics are like Lays, I doubt you can read just one.
