Spookgirl # 4: Chinese Daydream & Trip Out

Writer/Artist: Macropoulos
Publisher: Slave Labor Graphics
Published: November 2000

Ladies Night # 4 (No, I did not choose this issue on purpose - pure coincidence it's number 4!)

Issue # 4 has our lady Trixie attempting to reclaim a lost bit of her childhood. She remembers an old Chinese fairy tale: an old man kept his childhood memories in a flask. He believed these secrets had wonderful meanings, and so he meditated atop a mountain, until his younger self disappeared, and all he had left was an empty flask.

Deep.


Trixie revisits this mountain, is kicked out by some Tikis, eats a hallucinogenic plumb, and meets a strange visitor.


"Trixie will be the first to believe that their really is a monster under your bed." - Spookgirl # 4

Dork # 11

Writer/Artist: Evan Dorkin
Publisher: Slave Labor Graphics
Published: August 2006

I chanced upon Dork # 11 in a bulk bin. I don't think I was quite prepared for what I read. It's a comic chalk full of either one panel strips or short 3 - 4 panel strips. The jokes range from quaint to out right "Oh my god, I can't believe he drew that!" On that note I took the liberty of choosing a selection of the more friendly jokes. However, be warned, if you do pick up a Dork comic, be prepared...it is labeled for mature readers for a reason.
