Oh my! What a terrific review and overview of Edward Bolman and J.P. Noel’s Broken Head Funnies collection at Broken Frontier.
Here’s a piece, but you really should read the whole thing for yourself…
Upon first glance, Edward Bolman’s Noble Head Funnies seems like a head spinning, rapid-fire amalgamation of lunatic characters in subtly humorous gag strips, panels, and fragments of stories. Only on a slower, more deliberate reading does one see the complex structure Bolman builds through each issue (and even continuing across individual issues).

I really appreciate how Gary dug in deep to discuss so much more about Bolman’s style and approach than one would normally expect.
Thank you, Gary, and thank you, Broken Frontier!
