You know the guy you think of when someone says "Florida Man"? Well, Larry Loathman might just be the guy that out does him. Jacksonville cartoonist James Greene delivers with two self published comics featuring his character Larry Loathman. Larry is a real guy- or is he? Either he is the most dangerous man in the world, or the world's biggest liar- James' writing and drawing are on point in these strange post-truth anti-hero unreliable narrator conspiracy theory laden tall tales.

From James Greene:
You can take Larry out of the snake biz, but you’ll never take the snake biz out of Larry. He’s a “real” American slithering thru a post-truth America into the dark heart of Florida. Read what critics are calling a “keen-edged” American picaresque narrated by the gruff and dishonest Loathman, whose malarkey catches up with him in the end… or does it? Greene combines an eye for tight comic storytelling with an ear for dialog.
