Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hilarious, but still not as funny as Art Speigleman's Charlie Brown as Gregor Samsa that he did in one of the issues of RAW.

It wasn't Spiegelman, it was R. Sikoryak. He's done a bunch of parodies.

I somehow never knew that. And I'd seen the Inferno Joe one before too (they're probably both in the Read Yourself Raw anthology). That's awesome! Action Camus!

I just finished reading all five extant volumes of Scott Pilgrim. Definitely the funnest comic I've read in a long, long time.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm about to read the fifth volume, Tom! I was going to ask whether any Buffistas were fans. See my tagline. This comic makes me LOL more often than many other things I have ever read.

Scott casting kind of exactly perfect, imo.

I hated the girl cast to play Ramona when she was in Sky High. Easily the worst thing in the movie.

While the character Michael Cera always plays is a little more subdued than Scott Pilgrim, he is probably the best possible choice, yes.

lisah, the series just gets better with each volume.

That's what i hear from my one friend who is a fan. Except she didn't like vol 5.
