Well done! I love everything Grist ever wrote or drew, and it's a personal pleasure to see some work that's new to me, since you've got some of his comics I'm missing!<br /><br />One of the best things Grist ever produced was a back cover drawing that was a pastiche of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Home_taping_is_killing_music.png" rel="nofollow">this famous image</a>. In Grist's version, the slogan read "Home Taping is Killing Music / Good Riddance". Priceless! I'm really surprised that was never made into a T-shirt...Ed Pinsenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116885432031577292noreply@blogger.com
