You know what you need? You need some operatic silverfish. And Shaenon Garrity is here to support you in your hour of need.
Enter Skin Horse, the fantabulous new comic by the Garrity lady and Jeffery Channing Wells. It has renegade centipedes! And zombie heads! And the zen of a giant rat!
It has also made me giggle, almost every day, for months now. Skin Horse is wry, stupidly well written, and funny as hell. The present storyline has gone on for, oh, forever, and is a good place to start. It reminds me of something Steve Martin once said: 'What if I created tension and never released it? What if I headed for a climax, but all I delivered was an anticlimax? What would the audience do with all that tension?'. As the conceit is stretched beyond all reasonable expectations, it gets better. It's brilliant in a forehead-slapping, sharply written, never-ending kind of way.
Plus, they have operatic silverfish! You can't go wrong with operatic silverfish, no siree.
