Imponderable #43: Huntington West Virginia

20 Apr

April 20, 2012

I know what you are thinking. “Damn, I would love to see those court papers!” Well thanks to the internet you can! They are available in full at http://www.inversecondemnation.com/files/rocket.pdf  but I have excerpted the relevant and funny sections here.

This is a negligence case, but  unbelievably, it is against the fraternity, not the asshole who put a rocket in his asshole. The crux of the lawsuit is that there was a broken railing on the roof and there were a railing he never would have fallen off the roof.

I say if he didn’t try to shoot a rocket out of his ass then none of this would have happened. This is what is going to college these days.

How much money will a jury award this jerk? The question is Imponderable.

The Saturday Comics: Mandrake the Magician (Classic Repost)

14 Apr

April 14, 2012

When I published this last year I got a lot of feedback, all negative. I seem to have disagreed with many, Mac in particular, in my assessment of this trip. What do you think?

This is a classic strip that does everything right. The art is great- look at the coloring. Notice how Mandrake stands out? And the rest of the coloring works perfectly with the subject matter. The illustration is top-notch. The strip is atmospheric and moody and genuinely creepy. Even the lettering gives you an old-school vibe. That is no small feat to accomplish each day in three or four panels. And the writing? This was the first time I’ve seen Mandrake in years and it was easily accessible but got me right into the story.

It is a zippy little story that keeps the essential elements of Mandrake but successfully moved it into the modern era. Here is a week’s worth of Mandrake the Magician. Enjoy!
