Just finished the first two trades. Continuity Aliens make me squeal.

Not sure about the art, very uneven, but I think that's common amongst GM's early works.

Freedom Beast!

I need to reread in more depth, but I liked the Coyote Gospel and, in fact, the recurring "gospel" stories of characters like B'wana Beast that often lead to miscommunication rather than understanding.

And, of course, there's the issue of trade #3...

If you liked the first two trades, volume three should be quite enjoyable. I don't want to spoil anything, but it's some of GM's best stuff. And yeah, the art isn't the best, and the hideous 80s fashions don't help any.

Buddy does seem rather fond of his cutoff denim short-shorts.

Only totally. Buddy's got some nice legs.

Book 3: Well, that felt like a rough draft of part of the Invisibles, and Buddy was never trying to be "cool" like King Mob was desperate to be. Not as flashy but with more rawness.

I'm not sure how I feel about the last section, with Grant finally stepping in. I like that Buddy suddenly seems to realize/connect with the fact that Ellen was nearly raped in the woods, because up until that point he didn't seem to react to it at all.

This is most def the wrong thread to be posting this, but thematically there's some continuity and I thought Barbelith needed to be told.

Fred Bassett is totally breaking the fourth wall in today's strip in the Daily Mail. His paws are on the bottom of the panel and he's staring at us, a la "I can see you!"

Fred knows, man. Somebody - possibly his pal Jock - has slipped him peyote. He's discovered the nature of his reality. What now?

Now he tells Charlie Brown that Lucy will always take the ball away at the last minute and persuades Andy Capp to go to Alcoholics Anonymous.

I have a little question, and this is the only Animal Man thread I could find.

Regarding the cover of Animal Man #5, has it ever been established whether Bolland got instructions from the Mozzer wrt depicting Buddy 'suffering on the cross' on the cover?

As it stands the cover illustrates the (then unwritten) run as a whole, rather than the suffering of Crafty Coyote in that particular issue. Or is it just some kind of cosmic coincidence to do with MGIc and that...

You shouldn't read TDM, JP. Even if it's only for work.

Also, I've been writing in to The Mail for years about FB's antics - sample letter;

'Make your owner drink more, Fred; his wife clearly doesn't love him any more. Your role in propping up this farce of a marriage does you discredit as a basset hound, you f***ing f***!'

And has Fred ever replied to me? Even once?

He's not to be trusted. Any more, I fear, than Gerry Conway is.

While I can see why Buddy Baker might want to get off with Starfire because his wife and kids don't understand him any more, and his powers are failing - don't get me wrong, it's a great idea - I'm not sure if Gerry, in 'The Last Days Of Animal Man', or whatever it's called, is handling it as sensitively as he might.
