...with wind chill in Brooklyn this morning--ideal weather for SUV hunters to stalk and tag their prey, since the vehicles' owners are likely to be indoors. One tagger, who says her name is Wendy, girds herself for the hunt with two layers of sweaters, a silky orange-and-cream scarf and a handful of bumper stickers.

...pear is perfectly roasted and spiced, cooked to exactly the right tenderness to easily cut with a fork but not turned into pie filling or baby food.

Those investigations got under way even before the shuttle debris was cool.

These visual puns are the equivalent of clever poetic wordplay, but unique to comix. Herpich, who's pen and ink drawings are otherwise fairly simple, has a gift for the infinitely variable patterns of comix. Through repetition and pauses, panels that repeat something from before or else...
