Book Club 2025: Connective Tissue by Bob Fingerman

I have to admit I bought this by mistake (in 2009) — I assumed it was a comic book, but it’s not. So it has remained unread until now.

It’s much better than I imagined it would be, really. It’s basically Alice in Wonderland, but by Bob Fingerman, so there’s a lot of squishy things. And tentacles.

About half the pages are illustrations, and I guess they’re the main attraction here. They don’t exactly add a lot to the text — there’s no playful interaction going on, which I find pretty odd for somebody that mainly does comics.

It’s pretty entertaining, but it feels like a trifle: The text is quite digressive, and while it’s humorous, it’s not at any point actually funny.
