Econo Cookies
In case you haven’t noticed, City Pages has had a serious cartoonist crush going on recently. In addition to Lutefisk Sushi making last week’s A-List, and a whole slideshow of photos from the gallery opening going online, today is the day that this year’s annual COMIX ISSUE hits stands. For those of you who can’t manage to get your paws on a print copy, please enjoy reading all the great comics (including, y’know, mine) online.
As for today’s comic: Guys, you can’t even imagine how foul those cookies tasted. So let’s not talk about it. Let’s talk about far sweeter things…
LIKE MIX!
In addition to the all-day indie comics fun fest on Saturday the 21st, there’s also going to be a kick-off party on Friday the 20th. I know, right? That’s almost too much fun to handle. Almost. Check out the kick-ass kick-off party flyer:

Another home-run with this one, Athena! You’re on a hot streak!

Reminds me of Lewis Black’s screed about candy corn at Halloween.

The depressing thing is that, when we see the awful cookies again, we’ll still try them…knowing full well how awful they taste. WHY DO WE DO THAT? Is it because they’re free? Because we feel like we’d hurt someone’s feelings if we don’t taste them? Or do we actually believe that another time, they might actually taste good?

Casey: Aw! Thank you!
Jon: Oh god, candy corn. That is so true. I will surely eat it this season. And then grimace. And then eat some more.
Mom: I think we just wish they would taste good, because they’re free and all. How can you ever pass up something that’s free?
