Hey, Kool-Aid!
In honor of the anniversary of the Jonestown massacre -- yes, yes, I'm a day late -- here's a classic collaboration between Reason's own Peter Bagge and another libertarian comix favorite, Alan Moore.

This is one of the funniest things I've ever read.
When he's smiling at the funeral, oh god...
That is fucking awesome.
Typical religion-bashing from the elitist snobs of Reason.
hahaha! Tom Wolfe pisses into his head!!!
This had me rolling.
OH YEAAAAAAAAH!
someone had to say it
Peter Bagge is not only a great illustrator (and writer, although Moore's responsible for this one), but I realize he's criminally underrated as a letterer, too.
Good stuff.
OH YEAAAHHH!
Personally, though, i've always preferred the Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Mister President, you look thirsty.
That, was wonderful.
Tremendous.
I liked Reddy Kilowatt's cameo.
I'm curious. Did Reason get permission to use the Reddy Kilowatt character? I believe it's trademarked.
Reason would not need permission to use the character, as Reason did not publish the comic. More importantly, it's fair use for satiric purposes. There's no chance a reader would think the Reddy Kilowatt cameo means the Northern States Power Company endorses the comic, so customer confusion isn't an issue; hence Peter can use the mark legally.
Thanks!

It appears that Northern States Power Company endorses that perverted comic!
Those sickos!
That's how I took it.
Flavor Aid, people. Just like Kool Aid and nothing like lemonade. Although the fine people at Jel Sert really do wish you'd quit bringing this up.
My brand, "Grin-Aid", never caught on. 🙁
Despite the burst of flavor it provided.
I agree that Sometimes a Great Notion is kinda slow. But a great novel.
The movie based on it was pretty good, I thought.
To complete that thought:
The movie based on it was pretty good, I thought. Never read the book, though I read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and saw the film.
Their leader is not nearly as mentally ill as Jim Jones. Or at least less murderous.
For me I've always lumped Bagge's work in with the like of Tom Tomorrow's Modern World: Visually jumbled and crowded to the point of not caring to read.
Good thing there's still Ziggy! (Family Circus can get a little jiggy, too, what with all those dotted lines and all.)
I prefer my Family Circus in this form:

I recommend this, then. Nice and streamlined for your viewing enjoyment.
