Used to read them all the time, as obsessive about them then as I am with classical music (and some overlap in time...) -
to speak of a very funny, silly and serious series, written by Canadian Jeff Smith, that is now finished (I think) - has anyone read the comic Bone?
(I read it up to issue 40 or so, until just after a certain very important ... gathering of forces and its aftermath :) - when the comic became very serious indeed for a bit, having begun as very, very funny comedy or farce.)
