Adam and i were very excited to learn that The New York Times would be running a weekly strip from Dan Clowes (awesome!). it was almost enough to get us to subscribe to the Times. unfortunately we are not only on a tight budget these days, but with a fourth floor walk up, the odds of the Times actually sitting there waiting for us when we woke up in the morning are like 10 to 1, so we’re going to hold off until we’re in a more Times delivery friendly building. Adam’s wonderful co-worker Reina however pulled the strip for Adam and he scanned it for me, and now i bring it to you as the comic of the week…!
of course my weekly strip (i’m not even going to address the fact that i haven’t posted my premiere stip yet) will NEVER be this good, let alone in color, but everyone should get to see Clowes beautiful work, so here it is (click the image to see it larger – and more “readable”).
thank you Reina!

It looks like a great start to the strip for Clowes. I’m glad he’s back to cartooning on a regular (semi-regular?) basis. I’m sure he never left but the whole “directing-a-movie-now” thing takes away a great cartoonist. Here’s a link to the nytmes.com page where the strip will be every week:
