“True Tales From the Bar” Vol. 3 by The Amazing Bryan Kelly - A Review
Absolutely love “True Tales from The Bar” Vol. 3, by Bryan Kelly! I recently had a great time hanging out with Bryan being part of a panel discussion on “The Art of Storytelling” at Comic Fest Waco and then at “Staple” in Austin. He is really a great guy and an amazing artist.
I have purchased several of his books and I am making my way through each one and they all are really outstanding. Bryan works as a Bartender in Denton, Texas and his experience Serving drinks at his bar is the content of his weekly comic strip. This is his 3rd volume, which is a compilation of his experience in serving his customers. This book is filled with experiences that are, as he says, “amusing, confounding and/or infuriating.” It tells the life of a server, of which we should all be aware of, especially if you’ve had a couple of shots! Lol!
As I read his book, I was taken back to the time when I wrote about 95% of my doctoral dissertation while sitting in a brewery. Many stories there!
In closing, let me say, even if you have never set foot into a bar, “people are people.” In other words, there is a lot to relate to here. Enjoy! Better yet, go visit Bryan, take a couple of shots…and who knows you too could end up in the funny papers!
