B. Kliban’s vast body of playful, surreal irreverent free-form work is well overdue for re-discovery. An innovator who significantly expanded the realm of cartooning, Kliban inspired a generation with his no-limits approach. His numerous books – Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head, Whack Your Porcupine, Two Guys Fooling Around With the Moon among them – spread the Kliban vision far and wide, and put the term “Klibanesque” in the dictionary. His constructions – whether single-panel drawings (“Mental floss.”), multi-panel sequences (“Four Useless Motions”) or eight-panel image-poems (“Sheer Pottery”) – push fearlessly forward into unexplored territory. Welcome to his unique and compelling world.
Comic is updated on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.

Decades later, and nobody ever corrected “Philippine.” I didn’t realize copyeditors were so endangered for so long.

Jon88, well, it did come right after Norway so he probably drew it that way because ‘e was ’pining for the fjords.

Where’s the American pie?

@jtpozenel
The American pie was seen in “Pies of the World” #26. Sorry you missed it.

No problem. There’s always Peanuts, or maybe Fred Bassett, right?

Not funny! Lame! Wallows in lameness! Makes no sense at all. Besides I thought Greek Pie would be 3.14 …☺

The Greek one is π.
In re: “copy editors”….
The words in a cartoon are not “copy”.
They’re part of a drawing… so you can’t “edit” them with any sort of word processor.
The only thing an editor could do would be to white out and re-draw part of the original artwork, which would be a copyright violation…
same as if he’d used white-out and ink to “fix” the way Stephen Pastis draws Rat.

That said…. had the error been pointed out to Kliban in time, and, especially, while he was alive ,
he could have chosen to corrrect it himself….
or not.

It’s not an error. It’s a big island group, with many different cultures and languages. They haven’t agreed on a spelling for it.
