Slow Wave

An ex boyfriend of mine used to get really frustrated when I told him about my dreams. In fact it might have been the reason he broke up with me. He used to say that the only good thing about me relaying my dreams was that it was quite funny watching me work when I really didn't have to. So, okay, he wasn't the nicest person I've ever met but many people will agree that nothing is more boring than listening to another person talk about the dream he had last night. Truth be told that unless you can keep your dream story down to under a minute, I'm not really interested either. My own dreams; facinating. Yours; not so much.

With this in mind, you would assume, a comic that is nothing but an account of a stranger's dream should be the most uninteresting comic in the universe. And yet it isn't...


Whilst cruising the internet, in an effort to break my habitual checking of Facebook, I came across artist Jesse Reklaw who turns people's dreams into four-panel comics on the Internet. They have no coherent story line and no punch lines. If you read only one, you would probably scratch your head and wonder what he was smoking. But if you read several it feels like accessing the dream part of your brain while being awake. It's the strangest sensation. Check it out.
