Description
The full colour strip follows the misadventures of a couple of slacker extraordinaire adolescent friends as they loaf around trying to hook up with girls and generally avoid doing anything that might be construed as work. Roskosch's duo of protagonists are characters any of us who would recognise immediately - they get stoned quite a bit and argue over who's turn it is on the games console - so it's all the more interesting when we note that Leeroy is a bear and Popo a dinosaur! The anecdotal observational comedy is expertly played out in this lovingly-crafted debut.
Reviews
Modern and fresh!
-Pikaland
It's lovely and slow and goes perfectly with Roskosch's understated, subtly-colored art.
-Unshelved
A great example of how angles in the art can guide the eye when there's not much lettering or other specific cues from the panel layout.
-Comics Alliance
In Leeroy's lethargy and Popo's torpor, Roskosch creates a espirit de couch -- these two are tight (but loose), their easiness is envious and anyone would be lucky to have a dinosaur or bear like this as a bud to whittle away an hour, a week, months or even years.
