The one and two page strips in Snack Bar were amusing. Marc Bilgrey has his own simple, clean style. Since I don’t know enough about this genre of comic I couldn’t tell you whose work his resembles (if anyone). It reminds me of the style of comic strip you’d see in the Village Voice or your local alternative newspaper. The humor in them isn’t so much gut busting funny, as it is dryly amusing. You don’t read these and burst out laughing, you just smile a bit and move on. I did get a giggle out of one strip entitled “Otto the Obsessive Compulsive in Museum Mischief” but the majority of the strips were simply okay.
Not much of an endorsement I know but keep in mind that these kinds of comics generally aren’t my thing. If you do enjoy comics of this type then give Snack Bar a try.
