This series is not overly hilarious or outrageous, and it was not my intention for it to be - rather, it's a (hopefully) subtly-humorous look at the mindsets and attitudes of people in small, rural towns. Let me know what you think.

It's not finished yet; I really don't know yet how long it will go on. But here's the first installment.

Overall I liked the series, but you kind of beat the humor pattern to death:

Panel 1:  talk about boring ordinary stuff

Panel 2: talk about boring ordinary stuff

Panel 3: talk about wild crazy outrageous stuff that could never happen!

...although sometimes you did the crazy stuff in panel 2 instead.

Yeah, that was kind of the point. That's why I was afraid a lot of people wouldn't find it funny. I mostly grew up in towns like this, and the peopple are really like that - they go about life so wrapped up in their boring small-town lives, and that's all that matters to them. Tiny changes make them crazy, but big things, real-world issues, don't bother them in the least.

In any case, I guess this isn't so much a comic series, as a satire of rural life.
