Urban Hipster Reviews
Jeremy
Pinkham, The Comics Journal #205
June
1998
"Urban Hipster — or "UH" as it has come to be known through mysterious,
wordless advertisements in this very magazine — is a satirical rebuttal
to the state of the art in alternative comics, produced with a clever
and uproarious, yet thoughtfully despairing, sense of just how far contemporary
underground comics have to go to negotiate an escape from the wearisome
quagmire of in-clubbish back-patting and "slacker" cool. Be warned: Lasky
and [Stump] mischievously trade writing and drawing tasks without warning
throughout this imminent threat of a publication, just to lend an added
dash of irreverence to its ticking Unabomb to the tushes of those who've
dragged the level of excitement and insight in Generation-X cartooning
down to that of the average Internet chat room.
