Looks Good On Paper Walks Erect

Looks Good On Paper, the online ‘newspaper’ comic feature, is nearing its eighth year of publication at AM Universal’s GoComics, but in the beginning its survival was anything but assured. It began as a quirk of fate and a bit of luck — evolving from a shapeless blob in the primordial comics soup, changing form and acquiring abilities as it clawed its way up the evolutionary chain, until it triumphantly hoisted itself up on two legs to stand proudly in the light of day! Historically, it ran in a horizontal format like most comic features, but the occasional vertically oriented strip would appear like a variant of the species, exploring other opportunities in the ecosystem of humor. Some succeeded while others failed — such is the life of comics on this planet. With each new iteration, the species grew stronger, the humor ever-more infectious, until it spread far and wide, ultimately arriving at the top of the food chain instead of in the evolutionary junk pile. This is the eleventh e-book by Dan Collins, the fifth in the Looks Good On Paper series and includes 260 pages of highly evolved humor for any species, though it is preferable having opposable thumbs if you want to turn pages.
