Review:  As with most comics that string together autobiography, day-to-day observations and odd thought fragments, Jumbly Junkery is the sort of thing that'll appeal to those interested in picking someone else's brain sight unseen.

It's not a universal appeal, but it's an appeal nonetheless.

For my part, I found it at turns entertaining, endearing, and surprising.  I got a glimpse into someone else's life (at least the parts they chose to show me) without feeling like some dirty voyeur or awkward and reluctant listener, like I was receiving too much information from someone who was waiting in the same grocery checkout line on a Thursday night.  Those alone are commendable achievements.

Ultimately, I enjoyed my view into the mind of L. Nichols, but it left me wondering what kind of full-length story she could create given a shot at a larger format than the web-comic this was adapted from.  If this is an advertisement for an interesting mind, it succeeds completely.  I just can't help but feel it's a prelude for a piece of work that may well blow some doors from their hinges.

Overall: 4 stars.
