Is it bad that I sometimes link to the complete comic online for free? If so you should give Dan money for a subscription to alleviate my guilt. Sure, subscriptions are a sucker’s game for a lot of comics, but look at the productivity of this man. #33! That’s longevity you can count on. And as much as I hate to sully my website with an all caps message, forgive me for this, peaceful readers: DAN HAS GONE TO FULL COLOR. He mentions this nowhere that I could see in his comic, merrily going about his comics day, as if switching to full color 33 issues in wasn’t a thing to be trumpeted to the heavens. With many, probably most, black and white comics, I see them merely as black and white and think of them in no further colors. The Fifty Flip Experiment though? My brain would automatically translate many if not all pages into vibrant colors, with the haunting thought that I could never be sure if my colors were “right.” Well, I don’t have to worry about that anymore, and neither do you! Dan also sent a nice letter along with this, welcoming me back to Urbana Illinois, even though he’s in Chicago now, but it’s all Illinois, am I right? Could I wrap things up here without ever mentioning what’s in the comic? Yes! …it took everything I had to keep typing after that. What a perfect exit! Alas, my sense of duty to the readers of this website and comics all over the world is too strong. This one starts off with another introduction from Dan, explaining his thought process in making the comic, so don’t go saying that you couldn’t figure out where he was coming from. In this issue, Larry Fine and Scarlet Johansson finally have the team-up that the world has been demanding, as they are needed to live in a haunted house for three days to save some orphans. Larry Fine is a woman and Scarlet Johannson is Jughead. And I’m sorry, but every time I flip through this comic to talk about specifics, I’m dazzled by the colors again and can’t remember what I wanted to say. Do the nipples of one of the orphans place a crown on Larry Fine’s head after a job well done? I’d say, but you know how I hate spoilers. Look, it’s another triumph and now it’s dazzling to boot, so your excuses for not buying this comic series are over. Get to it! $5
