Tomorrow Stories #2

As regards nostalgia in general terms, according to a recent issue of New Scientist, a little of it can be good for us, psychologically and neurologically. It was, however, initially diagnosed as a potentially fatal illness, something elegantly demonstrated by the South Park clip that John Higgs showed everyone at the recent Hexagram 23 event, with the ’Memberberries, or the Private Eye cover around eighteen months ago, with a UKIP candidate standing by a UKIP-decorated taxi cab, the driver of which is asking “Where to, guv?” and the candidate is replying “The 1950s, and step on it”. -- Alan Moore

"How Things Work Out" is one of my favourite tales from this series. It's the sort of formalist experiment Moore has always excelled at.

Yeah, the two pages shown don't do it justice, it really is genius work when read in full.

Agreed. It's part of the reason I refer to it as an "homage" instead of a "parody", as it's mostly serious stories experimenting with the medium in the same way Will Eisner did so with the Spirit.
