Webcomic Book Club Summary Reviews of The Jerk by Neal Von Flue

"I like to be seduced, lulled into a comic through characters, storytelling or humor. I find myself less and less receptive to the whole "illustrated themes" genre of webcomics. But I guess it's like anything else, I'd like it if it were done really well." Review by The Phantom Critic | Read Full Review | Read All Reviews of The Jerk

"I liked The Jerk, even if it was abstract. The formatting was rather strange, especially the panels with more than one image; the "click here" links weren't always clear, but they never seriously impaired me." Review by Benor | Read Full Review | Read All Reviews of The Jerk

"There is a deeper meaning to The Jerk that I only caught upon the 4th or 5th read through it. You really have to ponder the undercurrents at work and how they interact, like a riddle or koan. That said, it is probably best to discover on your own, as the reward is rich, but at the end of the review I'll explain what I saw for those looking."

"I'll level with you. I didn't understand a thing about this one page comic. Maybe it's just so avante garde it's over my head or it's as artsy fartsy as it appears, I really can't say for sure. All I can say is I just don't get it and wasn't impressed." Review by Kajamir the Giant | Read Full Review | Read All Reviews of The Jerk

"In lieu of being able to actually have a solid impression of The Jerk, I have decided to review a hoagie I just ate instead. The bread was of a french variety. The crust was flaky, brittle, and the slightest bit stiff." Review by Cobra | Read Full Review | Read All Reviews of The Jerk
