This collection of short stories, musings, and cartoons by award-winning writer Scott Semegran explores such themes as parenting, pets, religion, masculinity, and the apocalypse. In the story titled The Butterfly Effect, a father watches his daughters lovingly care for a squirmy gang of caterpillars. When they morph into butterflies, the girls witness the true meaning of life. Another story finds little boy Rogelio playing with his friend George in the ditch behind his house. Rogelio's mother is glad he has a friend to play with until she finds out George's true identity. In the story In My Garage, a group of friends make a pact that they will spend the last night before the end of the world partying in the garage. And that's just what they do, creating their own mayhem on the eve of the apocalypse. This collection runs the emotional gamut from endearing to hilarious to twisted and is guaranteed to make you laugh, cry, or both at the same time.
Praise for Modicum:
"Funny, sweet, dark, and sad, Scott Semegran's comics and short stories create a wholly convincing world of love, loss, and fear. His light touch with heavy subjects is a gift, and his forays into silliness are a delight. I can't tell if his kids should read it as soon as possible, or never." - Emily Flake, cartoonist and author of LuLu Eightball.
"Hilarious, poignant, twisted... and those are just the stories. Scott Semegran's cartoons bring an added one-two visceral punch to a powerful collection of work." - Davy Rothbart, author of The Lone Surfer of Montana, Kansas and publisher of FOUND Magazine.
