AMAZING
Yeah, the show itself was kind of a holy grail for me as a teenager, after I heard about it on "The Adam & Joe Show" where they charted the history of Channel 4. I finally found a copy on the internet and invited some friends round so we could watch it.
I love your work!
Right. Artists of the AV Club I want a Reposted a7x Fan calendar. Every month a different quote with a drawing to accompany it. Somebody make this happen.
I haven't really read any print comics this past week, but I did get into two webcomics.
I'm getting a vestigial flashback to a biology class where the teacher solemnly announced that he was going to be showing us "The Animals Film", a notorious documentary about animal testing which was shown on channel 4 once in 1981 with ten minutes cut out (owing to the belief that the last 10 minutes constituted…

I'm not completely up to date with the series (just bought the Vol 2 TPB recently) but I was glad to see the beginnings of the Oppenheimer conflict. It's just nice to actually have somebody to root for in that comic.
Was hoping somebody would mention the Kafka. I remember picking it up and thinking, what a perfect combination.
Love, love, love Y the Last Man…
Personally, I thought the series was always at its best whenever they deviated from the main storyline and Ennis got to flex his military history nerd muscle.
