The Meaning (or Lack Thereof) Of Life With "Rick and Morty"
It's a safe assumption nearly everyone has at one point asked these simple yet unanswerable questions: “why are we here?” and “is there a purpose to our lives?” We might never get the answers to these questions. But one alcohol abusing super scientist and his hormonal teenage grandson not only shrug at those questions, they point and laugh at those who ask them, choosing to instead revel in the chaos and anarchy that is life. This is the tale of

Blacksad
Blacksad is the award winning series of Spanish/French graphic novels by artist Juanjo Guarnido and writer Juan Díaz Canales of a 1950's America where anthropomorphic animals take the place of humanity, starring the perpetually unemployed Private-eye and black cat named Blacksad and his weasel sidekick Weekly. Despite this major difference, the world has mostly followed a similar path to ours. WW2, the Manhattan Project, the Red Scare, the Civil Rights movement, the rise of the Klu Klux Klan, and the Beat Poet movement all occur as they did in our world, only with animals standing in for historical figures or certain social-political groups.

Serpieri's 'Druuna'
In 1985, Italian comic book artist Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri made a splash with “Morbus Gravis”, a science fiction graphic novel and the first in what would be known as the “Druuna” series of erotic comics, named after its eponymous hero.

Hold the Meringue Cheesecake
“Voilà!” said the waiter, as he raised his hand and presented the plates to the diners. RT Hon. Margaret Hamill MP, Secretary of State for International Trade, had imaged a number of responses that the Children of the Luminescent would have once the cloche lids would be removed. Absolute shock and horror were at the very bottom of that list, so she was quite surprised when the esteemed ambassadors gasped and winced at the sight of a rack of lamb, nestled gently among a bed of potatoes, carrots, and zucchini.

It Starts With a Kiss
Luanne fidgeted nervously with her fingers. The bed creaked with even the slightest movement. Why did she come here? Well, she knew the reason why, but why in this place? It was very seedy looking, and the whole room had a musky smell to it. It wasn't at all like she pictured it would be. She assumed the first time meeting one of them would be in a bit nicer of a place. Then again, this wasn't an interview for a position on their vessel. God, what would her children say if they knew she was here and why?

Sleep
Her breathing was soft. It touched my face with a gentle rhythm. I opened my eyes. Her head was resting on my shoulder, with her hair curling in every possible direction. Strands dancing into my face, free from gravity. With my one free hand I brushed her floating hair aside. Her hand clutched tightly onto mine. It seemed so small and fragile now, nestled gently in my grip.
