Went to Geppies this past week to pick up two weeks worth of comics and was forced to remember that letting comics sit in the box causes the price to go up. By this I mean that if I pick up my comics weekly I seem to only spend $7.00, but if I wait to two weeks it seems more like $15.00 (now there is an interesting idea for a net.comics contest: guess how much moriarty spends on comics a month! O.K., maybe it needs work) Be that as it may, included in this pile was the latest BADGER and my reactions were somewhat mixed. First of all what happened to Butler? He did the cover, but not the inside. I know that THE BADGER has had many different artist but I think of Butler as THE artist for the book. Aside from that it was inter- esting to see Norbert go further off the deep end. Did the rest of you out there think that Norbert came up with the Badger costume AFTER he was comit- ted? I had been wondering for a while who the "larry" was that he kept referring to. After reading the famous martial arts concentration cry of "Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk" I think I have figured it out. As a person that has named his four office automation machines "moe, curly, larry," and "shemp" I was delighted. All it all its good to have Norbert back and I enjoyed the comic. OZ seismo!rlgvax
