A Moment of Comics

It feels like cheating since I posted The Maxx last week, but for National Poetry Month I wanted to include this page from The Maxx #5 where Maxx is forced into speaking in rhyme as he dreams of meeting the Crappon in a Hat, an in-universe cartoon character. The Crappon dream sequence was drawn by Crappon's creator, Sam Kieth's cousin and infamous "Cow and Chicken" animator David Feiss. Tip of the hat to William Messner-Loebs for the poetry stuff.

A Moment of Comics

The amazing Sam Kieth passed away last week. It was almost impossible for me to choose a particular page to post hear as a representation of his life's work. It's like describing one part of a fever dream and hoping it conveys the whole story. Ultimately, I chose this closing page from the sixth issue of The Maxx with dialogue by William Messner-Loebs. RIP, Mr. Kieth.
