Cud Comics #7

Terry LaBan's offbeat slice-of-life series returns with issue #7, and the cover sets a wonderfully melancholy tone: a rumpled older fellow slumps on a couch surrounded by clutter — a Jefferson Airplane Volunteers album, stacked boxes of books, a stereo receiver — singing wistfully about revolution while his speech bubble trails off with a quiet "sniff." It's a gently funny portrait of aging idealism that feels right at home in LaBan's sharply observed world, and with a story titled "The Haunted Shirt" waiting inside, there's clearly more sardonic wit where that came from.
