(Movie trailer voice) At a time of change… in a new world… there was a man… a bearded man… who wandered the land spreading a message of peace, kindness, love… and apple seeds. A legendary man some called JC… probably. John Chapman was – Johnny Appleseed! And he had a boring life!
Jon Allen’s Ohio Is For Sale follows the travails of three anthropomorphic animals in their 20s/30s who live together in squalor - no jobs, no money, no real purpose. The stories might seem mundane to describe - one of them accidentally sets fire to the car and has to get a job to replace it, one of them gets sick, they have a party that goes off the rails - but they’re surprisingly compelling to read.
