Redcoats-ish, Jeff Martin's War of 1812, collects the complete 101 comic strip run of weekly web-comics featuring the misadventures of John and George, two not-so-fearless men of the Canadian militia. Heeding the call to defend Canada against the invading American army, John and George are now doing their best to be heroes, whilst also working hard to avoid battles, marching, danger or anything else that involves effort. This a good fun read for anyone looking for War of 1812 adventures that make you chuckle.
