With Strange Brew, Deering -- famous for his biting humor and political savvy as chief editorial cartoonist for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette -- has an outlet for his creative sense of humor and quirky view of life.
"Being an editorial cartoonist today, you have to be tuned-in to pop culture as well as politics -- but there are some limits to what you can do," Deering says "In Strange Brew, everything’s fair game. I get to cut loose and draw anything."

Pictures trying to make up for no plot or character…

With me it would be the 5 book Hitchhiker’s Guide “trilogy.”

Unless its an Alan Moore. They tend to have lots of text, plot and great characters…

Maybe they have those ‘graphic scenes’ we’re warned about just before those TV shows.

They have that black powdery stuff that gets off on your hands….wait a minute, that’s graphite. Never mind.

Alan Moore, Neil Gaimon, Chris Claremont… All good writers whatever the medium. Every genre, every medium has its trash and treasures.
jmx4 – I can picture it now, a disclaimer page at the beginning of comic book: “May contain graphic images.”

There are a lot of great graphic novels out there. Warren Ellis is another interesting author. Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo books are also very good.

A great graphic novel (actually re-print of a mini-series) was “Squadron Supreme” written by the late Mark Gruenwald.
