Funny, I was browsing some of my old posts at the evil empire, and was reminded of this hilarious mini-comic.

Now, there’s sort of a hidden backstory here, in that after I got to the States, I was pretty much a loyal DC/Marvel fan until they just… I dunno… kept recycling their content and using their characters as puppets?

For example-- they’d make a huge song & dance about killing off a character, only to later bring them back perfectly intact via whatever bullshit excuse, some issues later. It pretty much hammered home the idea that all these characters were just licensed properties ™, and not representative of real people.

Dense as I was, it did become clear as a comics reader that my needs just weren’t being met anymore, even late-teen as I was. That’s roughly around the time that I started exploring American-indie/alt comix, such as Cerebus the Aardvark, Love & Rockets, and several others.

It was like the spirit of the Indie 60’s / 70’s comix finally found a bigger foothold with the public, roughly starting with the mid-to-late 80’s. I mean, that was a big win for the likes of ME, man! :D

But also, and later, it kind of *inclined* me to cast my gaze even further, because let’s face it folks-- ‘Indie’ & ‘Alt’ comix can still be pretty crap am Ende des Tages. (“at the end of the day?”) (I’m thinking I’d really like to learn German after I’m ‘good enough’ with French, as they’re pretty-much the two closest relatives of modern English)

Oh… right so-- probably the biggest reason I’m sharing this HERE, a place devoted almost exclusively to Euro comics, one we’ve built painstakingly by hand, mind you, is that I… ‘don’t mind a good ol’ ribbing upon what once was.'*

* Spoken in heavily Irish brogue, haha

ANYWAY, I feel you’ve endured FAR more than enough. Here’s the story:
