What can we say?  These guys are still at the top of their form.  This issue delivers:  three more-or-less connected, Maggie-related shorts by Jaime venture into the dark underbelly of LA at the same time as they plumb the depths of the human soul, while a relatively (but not entirely) light-hearted romp featuring Hopey looks at relationships; two longer pieces by Gilbert provide more insight into the family romance that lies at the heart of all human character development, with a special focus on the ignorance that poses as superiority in "A Gift for Venus" and more heartbreak soup in the latest installment of "Julio's Day."
