Description

From ComixJoint:

"Short Order Comix is a two-issue anthology edited by Art Spiegelman, featuring plenty of his own work and lots of Bill Griffith and Joe Schenkman, the latter of whom was featured in many East Village Other and Gothic Blimp Works issues. Short Order is an ambitious title with comics that make you think as well as laugh, much like Arcade (which was edited by Art Spiegelman and Bill Griffith) would do a year after this series ended.

Be forewarned, the comics in both issues are often abstract or surreal, dripping with absurd dialogue that I've learned to avoid overstudying. Bill Griffith is legendary for his nonsequitur Zippy comics and Zippy makes a smattering of appearances here. Art Spiegelman also delivers some of his most chimerical comics in Short Order, though he occasionally flips a switch for more straightforward stories like "Prisoner On The Hell Planet," which is about his mother's suicide, or "Just a Piece o' Shit," which features a talking turd."

I was in suspense, hearing Brad Pitt's voice in my head "What's in the box?" all the way up till the reveal. Fun strip. Congrats!
