The difficult thing about our times is its mixture of seriousness and absurdity. It is a LOT like the cover of the Howard the Duck Comic, the one I saw in the window of a comix store on Colfax Avenue in Denver on my way home from work one day, the one I bought and framed and hung in my bathroom in my apartment on Humboldt Street in Denver back in the day.
wait a minute, hold on…
It wasn’t a Howard the Duck cover, it was a cover from a Bizarre Sex comic that I bought at the same time, also because of the cover. At the time, it struck me as hilariously funny, but I can’t share it here, but the words on the cover are enough, “It came from Alpha Centauri Looking for Love.”
Is it my fault that 40 plus years later I conflate my two favorite comic book covers in to one and have Howard the Duck climbing the Empire State Building? I think not.
Back in my late twenties I realized MY life was a mixture of seriousness and absurdity, but believed that the world outside my life was probably OK. Now the tables have turned and my life is probably OK and it’s external reality that’s gone off the rails.
As for the inside of these comics, nothing special. I’m not a big fan of comics, but the covers. They seemed to say everything.

Trapped in a world he never made – timely 👏
We’re all there, I guess. 🙂
I hear you. Everything is upside down. Great comic book cover…however I keep thinking Donald the Duck. Mmm…it could work.
Howard the Duck is brilliant. I guess they made a TV show out of it, but I never saw it. 🙂
I don’t remember that one!
I didn’t even know until today. 🙂 I guess it was a movie
LOL! I loved Howard the Duck. They made a live-action movie out of it but it got panned.
He has a cameo part on Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
There are things that just can’t be filmed. I think the Hitchhiker’s Guide movie was also abysmal.
I keep thinking how the …uck?
Me too. Yesterday I was dancing around the edge of despair. A little better today…
So apropos for the USA Today! Dag.🙏🗳🇺🇸🗳🇺🇸🙌
Yep. 🙂
