Glenn's adventures are unremarkable -- throwing a rotten apple out for the squirrels, catching a bug in the basement, watching a pigeon wander through traffic -- but the quiet, meditative patience of the art make the book a cozy read. For example, eight panels -- three pages in all -- are devoted to almost totally identical illustations of a cat toying with a beetle. It's something totally unexciting and unsuspenseful, but you know if you saw that happening in real life, you'd stop to watch. And just like in real life, that calming instinct compells you to stop and watch when you see it in the comic, too, nicely rendered in Huizenga's simple, emotive line drawings. Check plus.

After the jump: romance in the pants, and also evil.
