Somehow, this one slipped through the Copacetic cracks on its release. Jason Little is a natural storyteller and an excellent colorist, and Motel Art Improvement Service combines his strengths in bringing you this highly entertaining and rather racy work that will take your mind off of whatever's worrying it and plunge you straight into the soft underbelly of the hospitality industry with a screwball comedy story set behind the scenes at a string of hotels. It features: one directionless, hot-to-trot bicyclist and her worldly roommate; one zany, drug fuelled artist; one drug dealing army soldier on leave; a couple of drug manufacturing college chemists (yes, it's safe to say that drugs feature prominently in this tale); and a wide assortment of hotel staff and guests as well as a lone NYC art dealer on a quest. Motel Art is produced in a nearly identical format to Little's previous book, Shutterbug Follies, and features the same leading lady, Bee, and you can read a ten-page excerpt here at beecomix.com, so it does not seem unreasonable to assert that it is the second in a series.
