About Me

Squid Pro Quo is two things. The Squid Pro Quo comic is a short DIY comic about a lonely and confused cephalopod from the coast of Seaside Heights, New Jersey. One night he got drunk and ended up in Lake Michigan, and he's lived off the coast of Chicago ever since. He likes to drink and question things. Every time he swallows Lake Michigan water, he gets sick.The Squid Pro Quo site is a site where the squid himself reviews shows, albums and other relevant matters of interest which come to mind. Sometimes, the drinking and the writing occur at the same time.

"Friday The 13th" movie review:
