Jason is an incredible artist and writer out of Norway.  He specializes in spare, existential stories, of which the reader may find themselves thinking much about the meaning behind them.  This heartbreaking presentation of an old woman nearing the end resonates a great deal with me.  I have never seen such empathy expressed so well before.

An Unwelcome Companion, Again

 When Billy saw no more of Greg the Enraged Demon, he thought that would be it.  Now a new annoyance has shown up, he seems to think that he can succeed where Greg left off.  At least he's a cat, Billy was feeling unoriginal about having a 6 foot tall supernatural rabbit that only he could see hanging around.  Billy's wondering if Holy Water would drive off an obvious demonic presence, but probably not. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/2021/01/greg-enraged-demon-strikes-out.html I'm gonna wait this one out, the bunny thought.

But a small problem develops.    April 26, 1947.  MGM releases The Cat Concerto, with Tom giving a concert performance of Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. Tom plays beautifully, but... ...a small problem develops. “It was at a screening for the Oscar nominees.  We [Cat Concerto] played first.  When it came on, people were laughing like hell, and when the lights came on, Freleng was mad as hell.  Then it [Rabbit Rhapsody] played, and the action was similar:  Bugs walked up in the tailcoat, flipped it up, sat down, warmed up the hands, looking arrogant, all exactly the same.  In ours, Tom, the cat, disturbs the mouse, and in his, Bugs, the rabbit, disturbs the mouse. Ours ended up as ...

As usual, it's the Rabbits that are the problem.  An old story.    Bastards. The Lapines are thorough. These two are playing by the rules.  Court-martial a'coming! A rare action scene.  For such a theme there is not much fighting shown in this comic.  Exceptional art and writing but a dearth of action. Models kick ass. Extra-Planetary Defense Forces, EDF heavy infantry.  Heavy infantry are used as armored frontal assault units or for holding a position with powerful weaponry and generally backed up by all combat elements in a division.  Marine infantry is heavy, they have light units but those are for reconnaissance.  Intelligence is not required for frontline footsoldiers and is detrimental to their careers, which can often last several hours.    Independent Lapine Republic skirmishers.  Skirmishers are lightly armed troops deployed ahead or on the flanks of the main body of a formation.  They do not ha...
