So between ORACLE and GA/BC and the lack of any of my normal standout titles, this was a pretty bad week for comics. And that would ordinarily be pretty disheartening, and cast a bit of a pallor over the whole Wednesday LCS experience.
Except for the other comic that came out this Wednesday, which is pure distilled awesome that somebody cut with liquid joy and pressed into ink and paper form.

A little parable from Crumb

This appeared in something called US: THE PAPERBACK MAGAZINE# 3, from 1970. Edited by Richard Goldstein. It's an interesting experiment at a magazine in paperback format, some interesting articles and fiction aimed at a college counter-culture market. "Spread" was a portfolio of drawings from Robert Crumb's notebooks. Most of the sketches are of wrinkled unshaven beaten-down-by-life faces or women with thick legs and clunky shoes. But this little sequence stood out as Crumb had something to say. I don't know if he ever developed it into a poster, but it might have done as well as "Keep On Trucking."

So since I heard that there was an awesome-tearjerky scene regarding Apollo and Midnighter (one of my favorite couples in comics) in the most recent run of The Authority I have been impatiently waiting for someone to upload scans. When I was at my local shop on Thursday, I decided to see if I could find it. And lo and behold, in the Authority #3 I found it. And it is everything everyone promised.
