Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
âLetâs see⊠Omaha the Cat Dancer, Cherry Pop-Tart, Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose, Little Annie Fanny, Xxxenophile⊠wow, Iâve never even heard of these, they must be rare and valuable!â
The last three days have been prime Batiuk âstory-telling.â First we have the homunculus shrieking âsay yes!!!â and the tension of whether Jff, who just kicked his komix habit, will go to Comic-Con. The next day we have Child Jff in the kitchen, preparing to ask Scary Female Authority Figure if he can indulge his komix habit. Anothe tense moment: will Pmm give her permission, or will she stab a potato peeler through his dreams? Today we have Jff packing as Ed suddenly exhibits a deep interest in komix as an investment.
Whatâs missing? In each case, tension is built up, but then released off camera. This is beyond âTell, Donât Show.â The skipping past the dramatic payoff is downright tantric.
Seems like a ridiculous thing for an investment club to purchase, considering they are surely not getting these things at any kind of a discount. Especially since this wouldnât be a long term investment, what with the club members averaging 90 years of age.
(With apologies to the Beach Boys) ⊠âLetâs go, comics now, everybodyâs groaning now, come on com-safari with meeee! Come, come on, comic safari, come, come on, comic safari!â

Out in Ed Crankshaftâs garden shed, a man-sized pod lies empty.

When, in the long backstory of Ed Crankshaft, did we see any evidence that he was into komix?

I donât think theyâll be cheap enough for an investment club at the comic-con. Those people know what theyâre worth.

Buying vintage comics now is not an investment.

When has Ed ever expressed an interest in comic books? He didnât even learn to read until a few years back.

Oh, my! Crank didnât start speaking with a âSO!â

Factor in the fact that all of those in the investment club are well past 80 and youâve guaranteed that this story will make no sense.

Hey! Winkerbeanâs been retired! The story line had to go somewhere!
