Here's the
idea I had to send to your mom: In addition to the whole
cut-off-the-last-panel thing from the Sunday paper (I used Non Sequiter
from April 25), I also sent her these comics. Two of them (the duck rape
and the art critique) are done by a local columnist in my area, and I felt
that these subjects were so special that they should be shared. The other
two comics are done by the creator of Narbonic.com.
Here's the kicker: I had all of these comics saved on my work computer
(since the duck columnist doesn't have her work online, and the
Narbonic.com creator's archives are for pay), so I printed them out for
your mom. And, well, as computers are wont to do at times, the printer
didn't QUITE manage to print out the entire end of the strips. To wit,
"the backbone", "duck rape", and "art crit" strips are missing half of the
last panel. (Perhaps you might want to print them out yourself to get the
look just right for the gallery?) Even more fun, the "Bite Me Ten-Panel
French Lesson" only has as far as "Regarder" printed out...(I did print
that one on "Landscape", but even then it's cut off muchly.)
I feel evil, but it's fun!
JenniferAnd here's the letter
she sent along with it...
Dear
Celeste:
I was
just reading through some of my favorite old comics, and thought that you
might enjoy them, too. I just love ducks, and I wish I could be in a
tropical paradise with this weather kicking in. And you can’t help but be
amused at the idea of an evil sleepover! The vampire one is my favorite,
though. The end is so funny!
Love
and kisses,
Jennifer |
