I believe it's an aquired taste. When I started reading it (I read chapter 2 first, I believe), I didn't get the hype either, but now consider it one of the best comics of the decade.

OP here, I pretty much hated Harkham's early stuff, like for the D & Q anthologies and even Crickets 1 and 2 aren't amazing...but I saw the leap from 1 to 2 and heard what the self-published Crickets was about, picked it up, bought a second copy and now I agree it is one of the best comics of the decade. Not that it makes a comic any better for it but it truly is "comics literature", that special alchemical bastard of words and pictures...anyway on with the storytime!
>>94898789
Do you read much "alternative"/"literary"/"art"-type comics? If not then yeah you probably wouldn't understand the hype. No dis intended.

>>94897168
ORIGINAL requester here. OP, I will remember your kindness for a very long time.

One more request: once you have finished posting this issue, can you please find out what page was missing from the issue 5 storytime ( >>94851839 )? I checked again, and you posted 31 pages including everything and the page number can obviously only be a number that can be devided by 4, and I'm guessing it's only 1 page missing (and not 5 or even more).

Oh yeah, I think we spoke about Stein and her new D & Q book, right? See I'm kind of lukewarm about Sciver, I respect his craft but he doesn't do a lot for me...still have a few Blammo's an one off's for completion's sake, though...
>>94899165
Aww bless you, that means a lot, man. And, yes, of course I will check. You obviously caught the double page title splash I photographed, yes? Shit, maths isn't my strong point...!

Hah, Harkham called hensley "The Best cartoonist In America" on Twitter a few days ago, it was his b'day. You got any of his Comic Art or Duplex Planet stuff? The "Fuzz Tone" strip from the latter is genius. And "Smooth Jazz" from the TCJ Summer Special On Music (it was reprinted in volume 2 of the brunetti anthologies, Graphic fiction etc)...if you haven't it should be easy to find. Said it before but his thought processes are like no-one else's...in ANY medium

No More Shaves Has the best Hensley stuff, early nineties stuff.
Could scan smooth Jazz later.
The Comic Art stuff was illo's and a few comics for the old Bueneventura Press magazine on comics with some new comics included, again, could scan if not too frazzed....

>>94899732
OBJECTION! I believe 17 more pages to go (incuding back cover). I mean the saddle stitches were visible on page 26 (including front cover and inner cover). 26*2=52

Well, there you have it guys hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for the patience, know I houlda pre-scanned but I did say I would start by 9 GMT. Gonna stuff my fucking face with food now, love you all, you're the best, and support your favourite alt cartoonists, please!>>94900376
I think it was you who named Time Clock your top ten book of the 2000's? Anyway, will put together a little Hensley ephemera storytime for ya if you want, keep your eyes peeled m'friend. G'night, all!

Thanks.

>>94902343
Cheers, and thank YOU>>94903237 for reading, sorry to sound like a stuck record but PLEASE support your favourite pretentious hipster shitlord cartoonists. 'Cause in terms of effort to financial remuneration these girls and guys have it pretty fucking rough. They basically execute every single part of their comic for very little remuneration, that's just a love of creating comics. Only "alt" dudes who make a living solely from comics are Clowes, Ware, Burns, Hansellmeme and I guess Los Bros....not many others, though. Sorry to soapbox (a nasty habit, I know) but this type of shit is pointing the way to new directions in comics, in terms of innovation it makes Zap look like Archie, or something (not that there's ANYTHING wrong with the old Archie books!)...okay, rant over, send hate mail to [email protected]
