Excalibur #43, or: What is the sound of one toilet exploding?

[pallas_athena]

This comic has cheered me up this week, so I thought I'd share.

If you're new to Excalibur, check out this excellent intro post. I think, though, that most of us are familiar with this joyously cracktacular romp across the '80s. This issue is from the period when Alan Davis was both writing and drawing, and it resolves the "Nightcrawler loves Meggan" subplot that had been smouldering since issue 1. But the thing I love most about this comic is that it answers the question: What does an exploding toilet sound like if you're Alan Davis?

Of course it does.

Piper's giant sentient music note, and other weirdness

[blinkytreefrog]

I got a request on the other thread for the time Piper created a life form out of sound, and I found the sequence in a post by vigilante_wake over here. I'll post a page and you can hop over on the link if you want to see more of the story. I warn you though, it's pretty wacky :-).

( I have got a couple of other Piper scans, too :-). )

Blinky's Top Ten Oddball Geniuses in Comics (who aren't evil): Part Three

[blinkytreefrog]

Continuing the series of oddity! Part One (and some explanation on the whole thing) is over here, while Part Two is here.

As previously established, this are my favourites rather than the all time title holders! That being said, so many people have made cool suggestions for the list, I think I'm going to have to do an honourable mentions post after I've finished.
