Less is more. Word balloons on parody covers only tend to work when they're in service of the parodying. See: Green Virgil/ Green Dante. Watchvark worked just fine without a bunch of balloons. I think Strangers in Cerebus (which I seem to recall was one of the ideas Dave nixed way back when "Love & Aardvarks" bombed as being "too niche, let's only do famous parodies") needs to be minimalist.JLHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474358395266834356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-5116980529075360702019-05-15T20:36:05.282-05:002019-05-15T20:36:05.282-05:00Once again, Dave goes for the easy, nasty cheap sh...Once again, Dave goes for the easy, nasty cheap shots as he has been doing for many, many years now.

I think the original cover was much better - but then I've yet to buy a CIH? comic, so what do I know?Tony Dunlopnoreply@blogger.com
