YES. Kupperman is one of my heroes. Snake ‘N Bacon’s Cartoon Cavalcade is what I’d take to a desert island.

Are there more issues on the way?

TDtT is so good, and I found enough differences in the two issues so far to merit reading both.

It’s also a million times funnier than The Tick.

You knwo what really thrizzles? A man who got his superpowers when he got tied up in game film and then supoersteroids poured on him, and then there was a fire, and then chemical foam sprayed on him, and then someone gave him a special football suit he could wear to fight crime, and then he did, except it was sports-related crime.

That’s right, NFL SuperPro! (Which, in retrospect, seems like it came from the pags of this very comic we’re discussing.)

An odd choice for T but definitely an interesting one. I’ve been reading through some Tales designed to Thrizzle today, thanks for bringing them to my attention!

A golden opportunity to give Thundra her due sadly missed… *sighs*

P.S. Phylla Vell? Nice one.

I’m sure this comic is swell and all, but you missed your makeup opportunity on THE Question…

I mean, really, Quasar???

Gravity…is a harsh mistress.

What???

NO TICK!!!

WhatsHisName gets Quasar, and I get Mayor McCheese instead?

What’s wrong with you, man?

Everybody knows that the only round that counts is the first round, and you blew it! So good luck on your future rounds, ’cause as far as I’m concerned you just made a harsh enemy today! And thy enemy’s name is Gravity!

And gravity never forgets!

I can see how some of the jokes are pretty similar at times, but to me there’s enough time gone by before each issue comes out that I really appreciate the jokes again. Plus, I think just about anything with Snake ‘n Bacon in it is hilarious. And the fake ads in issue 3 really cracked me up.
Kupperman is great! I am glad to see him get a push from CSBG. Excellent choice, Brian!

I’m quite torn. That looks great, but reading Fantagraphics’ subimssions policy made me never want to buy anything from them. They revel too much in their own avant garde-ity.

The problem I have with Tales is that if you buy one, you really don’t need to buy another. The issues have been very funny, but very similar, and after you get you used to it, the jokes aren’t all that different. Everyone should read at least one, though, because the tales are quite surreal and humorous.

Hmm, hadn’t heard of this before.

“Thrizzle”? Did Mac Dre start this series? (That would be awesome.)

Never heard of it but the McCheese panels are great. Might check it out.
