P. Croome's How Dee #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Dream," Peter Croome dives into a self-reflexive comic strip where he’s stuck at his drawing table, wrestling with creative block. When his friend Fred shows up, Peter rejects the idea of writing something overly analytical, only to find a finished, cliched comic about making comics already waiting on his desk—prompting a quick, frustrated toss. A 75-cent Canadian comic from 1992, this issue features all art and writing by Peter Croome, with cover art by Croome as well.
In "The Dream," Mr. Froghauser drifts into a surreal baseball game that feels both vivid and out of place, a fleeting moment of motion and memory. The story ends with the artist, offscreen, dismissing it as garbage and admitting he can't finish it—leaving the dream's meaning just out of reach.
In a quiet moment of creative frustration, Peter Croome stares at his blank page, wrestling with what to write—until Fred’s arrival only deepens the doubt. When Peter turns to find a finished, overly familiar comic about making comics sitting on his table, he dismisses it with a sharp throw, rejecting the easy answers.
