| I was going to enumerate all the reasons why I think this comic is truly brilliant, but there are so many I just decided to skip the list and read the comic again. It may not be to everyone’s taste, but it’s such a wild trip of a read I would feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t jump on the running board and enjoy the ride. |
