A playful, self-aware jab at its own legacy marks The Comics Journal’s 20th anniversary in this 1996 issue, with Gary Groth and Kim Thompson adrift in a tiny boat as a whale labeled "senility" looms overhead. Written and illustrated by David Lasky—handling all art, inks, and letters—this issue channels the magazine’s sharp wit into a single, memorable cover that’s as much satire as it is tribute.
