Reader’s Notes
Florida Man – the hero you didn’t want or need… But is he ever entertaining! This series is based off of the collection of random news reports you hear about on assorted morning radio shows. The reports focus on the exploits of “Florida Man” because a citizen of Florida has done something so outlandish that it’s newsworthy.
Embodying all of these individuals into one gives us the title character, “Florida Man”. It isn’t the great American novel. It’s more like a visitor’s guidebook to what to expect when visiting America. You’ll find yourself simultaneously rolling your eyes and laughing out loud at Gary’s get rich quick schemes.
The artwork on the interior pages is solid. We get plenty of detail, which helps pull the reader deeper into the story. I enjoyed the panels from the wrestling match.
As a geek on a budget I believe “Florida Man” is worth looking into. It is great for some laughs as we watch Gary go from one unusual situation to the next as we get a testimonial on the state of affairs in much more of our country than our citizens and leaders would like to believe.
