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.

Hmmm, I know I commented earlier, let’s try again…
They’d be great ballet dancers, kung fu fighters or dervishes because they could keep looking at you while spinning.
Old Wolf, That’s the first thing that I thought of too!

@The Old Wolf
Wish they would include the date of origin of this comic. Maybe they got the idea of Cylons from it!

This is from the book Never Eat Anything Bigger then Your Head which was published in 1976, so drawn in 1975. It pre-dates Cylons and Geordiie LaForge.
