PRO TIP: Remove all studs and piercings before reaheating leftover punks in your microwave.

Recommended listening: Then more than ever.

He thinks that’s good

Toss in a couple of vaguely contextual Bible quotes and you’d have the makings one bitchin’ Jack Chick tract.

I could have mentioned I was taking last week off, but how punk rock would that have been?

Out of my class

(from Scare Tactics #7, June 1997; by Kaminski, Williams & Lanning)

I saw a dead punk idol shooting smack in the alley behind Seditionaries. And his hair was spiky.

Can only feel sorry for you

(from Batman: The Cult #3, 1988; by Jim Starlin, Berni Wrightson & Bill Wray)

There are some folks out there who’ll tell you Batman: The Cult is a profoundly terrible comic.

They are wrong. There is nothing profound about this misbegotten piece of shit.

Recommended listening: Change the channel, please.

What you have to do

(from Ronin: Book Two, September 1983; by Frank Miller & Lynn Varley)

Ronin becomes a lot less impressive after one realizes the working title of the series was “Frank Miller Spent a Long Weekend Reading Lone Wolf and Cub and Akira.”

Recommended listening: Beg for it.
