Today in Comics History, June 14: There's text, and there's subtext, and then there's supertext

The curvaceous Cobweb and her cutie companion Clarice can't remember why June 14 is a notable date for them! Hmmm, ladies, maybe you oughta get yourself some Vitamin B to help your memories!


from "Doom Date of the Dusk Duo!" in Tomorrow Stories Special #1 (America's Best Comics, January 2006), script by Steve Moore, pencils and inks by Melinda Gebbie, colors by Tony Avina, letters by Todd Klein

Could it be...Flag Day? Um, nope!


Huh. Maybe it's...the day the Multiverse was invented?


Golly. Have y'all considered it might be the anniversary of the day a giant duck turned itself in to the police?


No! It's Cobweb and Clarice's Anniversary! Awe, that's sweet. Let's keep the comic going so we can see their celebrations with cake and presents and...hey, wha'happen to the rest of the comic?

This post was suggested by faithful reader and frequent commenter Blam, who reads a lot of comic books I'm not 'llowed to, 'cause i'm only seven. To repeat, Golly!
