Hah! Great gag! I love it, and as much as I think a great Groo page would be nice to own, I think something like this of this vintage might even be cooler. Happy Birthday to Robin!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBIN!!!!!  The only thing I miss about going to a Sharks game on Robin's birthday is not being able to record my annual birthday wishes on Marcus's phone.  Oh, and I'm sorry, but I will just NEVER get used to Jason's beard.  LOL

I loved these pieces Sergio did for HOM and PLOP! He had this wonderful ability to blend horror and humor.

Man, I don't know that it is possible to "outcool" a Sergio posting.  Such a master graphic storyteller; one who can simultaneously execute a concept, story, or joke in the clearest and "simplest" way possible, and also adorn the surface of that simple concept with dense layers of detail as few others can.  He also has a stunningly consistent record of being -truly- funny, and this is typical brilliance by Aragones (set up, conflict, punch line - boom, boom, boom! - with incredibly pretty pictures) in recognition of what appeared to be a fantastic birthday event!  Thank you for sharing this, Marcus (and happy birthday to Robin)!

Sergio Aragones is definitely a genius.  And this is such a funny take on the 'surprise birthday party' trope!  I love how relieved Abel is when they all take off their masks there at the end, and the hilarious array of monsters that are revealed.

I've heard people from the opposite political party than me say that Cain deserves his own holiday...

Abel is so perfectly suited for Sergio's style.  Great page.  He thought he was walking into one of the nine planes of hell!

A lot of great artists have drawn Cain and Abel but Sergio has always been the best. What a fun gag and great pics.

Now that is a surprise indeed! Not used to seeing a whimsical, comical page from HOM, but this one page gag is a HOM classic in Aragones' trademark style. Congrats!

Sergio Aragones master of the universe uses the dark sky to draw your eye to Abel. Nice way to say happy birthday!

If the world were a perfect place, this scene would make its way into season two of Sandman on Netflix.

Truly amazing page from Sergio's superb  early 1970s funny DC horror pages and the first one I ever saw with 3 continuing story panels instead of the usual 3 single cartoons ! Huge congrats !

Hilarious Cain & Abel gag cartoon by Sergio Aragones! What a delight to see this in amongst all the overly dramatic and very serious comic art. Sergio's work, both in Mad Magazine, and later on in Groo, have alwayts brought a smile to my face. Thanks for sharing!

My favorite Cain & Abel. Better than Wrightson. Better than Bissette /Totleben. Dead serious.
