A lot of the silly comics panels I post are by Jack Kirby and however kooky they are there's always something lurid and arresting and resonant about Kirby's comics. Also! I! Like! Exclamation points!!!My friends at Hilobrow are running a really fun series of posts about comic book legend Jack Kirby. It's called Kirb Your Enthusiasm, and each essay is by a different person analyzing a panel from a Kirby title. Posts so far include Douglas Rushkoff on The Eternals, John Hilgart on Black Magic, Gary Panter on Demon, Dan Nadel on OMAC, and Deb Chachra on Captain America.
I lucked out and got to write about Kamandi.

Trust me, "at" works just fine.
I dunno why I like that one longer but I do.
Kamandi kinda freaked me out when I saw it.

The longer phrase does make it clear that the route from this blog to that is not a straight line, but more of a parabolic trajectory, up over one cubicle partition and down into another.
**AHEM**
It seems to me I have analyzed a few comics panels in my time as Substance Syncophant. The clothes, the weapons, the man made completely of poo?
Anyone?
Beuler?
