A Heartwarming Collection Of Tales Of Ordinary Everyday Life; From issues 1 to 4 of the award-winning strip, House Of Java Vol:2 is a collection of stories celebrating the everyman, some melancholic, some hopeful, some humorous, all keenly and quietly observed. Highlights include Steven exploring the blurry line between friendship and love between two comics fans; Tide Pools, where a visiting student encounters a girl with an itch to move on and out of her small town life but no gumption to go through with it; the particularly remarkable May 27th which brings a student social worker face to face with delinquency brought on by lower class despair, and The Burial with its aura of mystery, in which a terrible secret is literally unearthed turning it into an earth-shattering revelation.
