Nice and dinky, the comic comes saddled with a piece of jerky that claims to be good until the month of May in the year 2007.

The comic itself is the kind you can read with one hand, should the palm be large enough to accommodate something of that blocky size not unlike a coaster or a rent receipt book.

Not overly an entertaining read straight up, that German deli owner really has a hard accent to punch through. There's this air of not giving a damn as Jim goes about hooking up the German with the small goods goods in terms of jerky.

Now, if that particular Jim's Jerky that features in the comic is that which is in the plastic bag on the cover, who knows. Most likely not. Disconnect.

Tough, oh, it's tough to break into at first. Definitely a saliva cranking work out needed to juice it up good. Spicy to the tongue, the beat of it really does hewn a good time flavour country ride as it washes out the blah feeling from the comic.

Lasts a good while too. And it even sticks around when the rest of it has gone to shop and done over the rest of the taste and fibre of the flavour. More often than not, this piece of lingering jerky doesn't go down well, hence not actually going down at all as it tries to double badly back as a piece of floss.

Jerky may vary slightly on this part.
