☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "It's a Beautiful Day in the Epsilon-Neighborhood," Michael Dougan recounts a raw, personal memory from his teenage years—his summer job at a funeral home and the unraveling moment that followed at a fried chicken restaurant. Drawn entirely by Dougan in his signature stark, expressive style, the story captures the quiet dread of adolescence and the strange weight of growing up too fast. Seth’s striking cover, with its haunting, off-kilter perspective, perfectly frames the mood of this intimate, unforgettable slice of life.
In "Kentucky Fried Funeral," a raw and revealing memoir from 1992, the artist recounts the disorienting summer he spent working at a funeral home at eighteen—a job that blurred the lines between life and death, grief and routine. The story unfolds with quiet intensity as the emotional toll of the work collides with a sudden, jarring moment of collapse at a fried chicken restaurant, leaving behind a memory both absurd and deeply personal.
