There comes a time in every child's life when they must dance to 'Thriller' at a roller rink dance party

The thought of being trapped on a desert island with nothing but Magnetic Fields albums leaves me feeling quite quesy too.

I think someone has read a lot of Lynda Barry comix.

Yeah, and there's some Jeffrey Brown in there too. Neither of those are bad things; didn't seem to reach the level of swipe or slavishness - just showing her influences, consciously or not

I found the rendering of mother's crotch an odd artistic stance.

Now I really want to see what a child's dance routine to Sparks' Interior Design would look like. It might actually improve the quality of the album, for starters.

I want to be able to narrate past experiences that way.

Golly, y'all are harsh. I absolutely hated the Thriller album, and I liked this comic. Fun stuff. Thanks.

Wow. I once envisioned the body as a blood fountain very much like the one panel looked when i was tripping face. I also cant help but put on MJ after a rousing round of drinks. I need to meet this person, I think we split in the oversoul or something.
