    Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #72: Ludoctratic Dissidents

    Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #72 by Drew Barth Ludoctratic Dissidents I would like to, if I may, talk about the absurd.

    The Curator of Schlock #321: Rec 3

    The Curator of Schlock #321 by Jeff Shuster Rec 3: Genesis This one’s just plain goofy. As you know, I went all in on the canned pork n’ beans much to my regret. I guess I panicked a little while grabbing up a wheelbarrow full from the local Big Lots. But I am a lucky… Continue reading
