Book Review: Let's Be Friends Again Volume 1: Under Pressure (Live From Memphis)
Let's Be Friends Again Volume 1: Under Pressure is the first collection of a webcomic written by Curt Franklin and drawn by Chris Haley, two immensely talented local artists. Let's Be Friends Again began as webcomic about Curt and Chris trying to choose a subject for a webcomic. After publishing and hitting the convention circuit, Curt and Chris eventually decided to continue Let's Be Friends Again as an actual webcomic which continues the adventures of the cartoon counterparts of Chris and Curt, and occasionally features their superhero alter egos, The Enthusiast and Fahrenheit Jr.

Tayrye covers a variety of subjects ranging from Armageddon to unfaithfulness with the skill of a veteran MC.
