Get Some Shuteye.

I can show you where to get some Shuteye, but its not going to be enough. It's only three deep right now.
Again avoiding confusion, Shuteye is the name of a comic. I'm not actually talking about sleep because I wouldn't know the first thing about that. If I gave my advice, readers would be up until five in the morning reading comics books.
Whenever your bed time is, though, improve it by keeping the latest issue of this book under your pillow. It's the perfect bed-time story for big people.
This first thing that attracted me was the cover. It's simply a silk-screened image on a piece of colored poster board, folded in half. But something about it's simplicity just makes it stand out. The over-all construction isn't an exact science so each one is a bit unique, which is decidedly cool. Also, the texture is pure joy and the size makes it very comfortable to hold . When you're not reading 'em, you pretty much just want to touch 'em.
Flipping through one, it's simple, it's pretty and it works. But the story doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary. It's deceiving. I would have never guessed I was in for a sort of modern fairy tale. No princesses or dragons; it just regular people in an ordinary setting with a dash of something that isn't. Simple as that.
Each issue is it's own separate story as well. No cliff-hangers to trouble your slumber here. Just beginning, middle and beautiful, melancholy ending. Not quite happy, not quite sad. The endings are my favorite.

"A Catalan named Veà deserts his company of explorers in the Banda Oriental."

"In a provincial neighborhood bar, a young traveler remakes the events of his life but are they lies, or a twisted new truth?"

"While hiking through the wilderness of the Northern Midwest, a couple stumbles upon a mysterious abandoned house and suddenly find themselves off the map."


Above is a picture of each issue so far along with the synopsis that can be found on the back. I would love to retell each one for you. To be honest the stories are so much fun that I don't think it would ruin much, but I'm not taking that chance. You're just going to have to trust me on this one.

Shuteye is written and drawn by Sarah Becan and produced by Short Pants Press. The first two issues are based on stories by her brother David Becan. I haven't had much of a chance to check out much of her other stuff, but I've been meaning to check out Ouija Interviews. Apparently it documents "ACTUAL" conversations with spirits while using a Ouija board. I'm not concerned about how real the conversations are, but it looks pretty funny. Let me know if you check this or any other of her stuff out before I do.

Go ahead and check out Short Pants Press while you're at it.
I recommend Singularity if you like things a bit gruesome and a lot strange. I really haven't checked out much more than that.

Yet.
