Clowntime Comics is really the only reason to pick up the pointless rag that the Valley Advocate has become. It’s a wonderful strip, with a killer drawing style and well-written to boot. I hope this guy gets rich and famous, but realistically speaking, humor this good tends to inhibit fabulous wealth.

By the way, I knew the Valley Advocate had hit its final nadir when they proudly debuted their recent “T.M.I.” column, which features the stupefied barroom ramblings of drunks, bouncers and local band promoters, subcultures that I had already felt to be over-represented via their previous communication medium: men’s room stalls.

…and there’s three more pages of this stuff here. My favorite is the redubbing of Mary Worth with the dialogue from “Glengarry Glen Ross“.

…hopefully the creation of the new and imminently-beloved Thanksgiving character “Hitler Turkey” will make tomorrow’s dinner go down just that much easier.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Jeff reminded me of a great book called Fears of Your Life by Michael Bernard Loggins, a developmentally behind-the-curve guy from San Francisco. He covers over 100 of his fears, and illustrates a fair number of them.

1. monster under the bed

2. the school bus

3. draculas

4. being hit by lightning

5. sharks

6. nuclear war

7. wolfman puppet

8. mom and dad dying

9. mummies

10. tie: weird diseases/russians

Five quite excellent “Haunted Cipher” strips by Eric Haven. I found them in an equally excellent compilation of indie comics, “Strip Search“. Click to enlarge:
