Cryptic Wit 2
Jablonski's FARMER NED appeared in the gallery pages of ARCADE in the late 70's, and for all intents and purposes his work hasn't changed a whit since that time; which is to say it is still dense, oblique and more fun than a tobogganload of monkeys.
His most famous leit-motif involves Howdy castigating his nephew Dee-Dee for listening to "Poopy" music and discovering through the ensuing conversation that Dee-Dee's teacher is an ant. This has happened in I don't know how many hundreds of Jablonski's comics, but always with different dialog and jokes. Reading them is a powerfully entertaining experience, for reasons I can't begin to explain.
If this sounds like a connoisseur's treat with limited appeal... well, you know who you are. The price for this full-color slab of cosmic whimsy is a mere $5, so if you send say $7.50 to Mr. Jab at PO Box 385 North Greece NY 14515 I feel certain he'll send you one.
