The Slivers of Light in an Endless Night
Well well well, looks like we got us an old fashioned anthology comic! With no obvious website to be found or easy way to purchase it either. Still, what am I supposed to do, NOT talk about it? I’m going with the theory that the links provided will be more active soon. There are a few different stories in here, as “anthology” implies, and the names are linked in the tags if you’re curious. If you want more details, first up is a Steve Willis story about the wonders of a food dish from the perspective of a cat, followed by a story (illustrated by Charles Brubaker) showing how a man in a giant cat costume responds to being challenged by three talking dogs. No, the “talking” part never seems to bother him, but the guy was being threatened, so maybe he was a bit distracted. Next is a story (illustrated by Bob Richart) about a very protective elf who guards the secrets of a statue, and does so by transforming the noses of anybody who asks. These noses also apparently grow into a second body coming from the person’s head, which could have been played for horror but was instead more about the farting ability of the new body. In an anthology like this one, that was clearly the right way to go. Next (with Jack Lattemann) is a story about the journey of artwork through the mail service, which anybody who uses the post office can sadly relate to. The last story in the comic (with Buzz Buzzizyk), is more of a musical piece, and in keeping with my habits I’ll leave that one up to the reader. Finally on the back cover there’s the story of a perplexed wizard, with an anonymous artist so I can’t say much about them. It’s a solid pile of funny stories, and what more can you ask for really? If you can find it, give it a shot why don’t you? No price, but $3 maybe?
