You ever encounter a comic so pretty that it feels like a dare? Like picture books, comics are an infinite juggling act between the eye and the ear. Or maybe I should say between the eye and the brain. On the one hand you have the art of the book. Some of the best comics I’ve ever read in my life have been drawn with an extremely limited hand. They get away with it because the writing’s so good. Then there is the story. Honestly, you could be holding the most gorgeously rendered art imaginable, but if it’s a book for kids then the pretty pictures just come off as a kind of amusing experiment. No more. No less.

[4] When reason returned with the morning -- when I had slept off the fumes of the night's debauch -- I experienced a sentiment half of horror, half of remorse, for the crime of which I had been guilty; but it was, at best, a feeble and equivocal feeling, and the soul remained untouched. I again plunged into excess, and soon drowned in wine all memory of the deed.
