Last Gasp 1994
I didn’t tell any of the artists in here to be particularly infantile and juvenile and childish in their pieces for me. but none the less there is a definite kiddie vibe going on throughout this issue. What was formerly a serious, sober, mature approach to the sequential art medium has been transformed into a playpen for the cutesy-wootsie whims of its increasingly proceation-oriented contributors. Fucking breeders! Sing lullabies to your goddamn offspring in somebody else’s comic book!
Of course, most of these pieces are not, in fact, lullabies, but are instead mean spirited attacks on the very notion of childhood innocence. They are dark, angry portraits of a world in decline. some of which use the metaphorical conveyance of obvious vulgarity to mislead the reader, until, too late. the true cynical nature of each story comes bursting out, pounding into said reader with unrelenting venom!
Or not. Who cares, anyway? The issue’s done, sorry it’s so late, see you next time. Oh, hey–I actually got some (hardly any, really) letters. and so I will print them and make yet more comments on the inside back cover of this issue. Send more!
