Last night I spent about 90 minutes carefully stitching this one-sheet together from 16 scans and I will have no need for the finished product, ever, so here it needlessly is. If you don't already have the "Theme from Tunnelvision" playing in your head, you are blessed.

Josh O'Connor, whose career is now exploding, is a delight to watch in no small part because he is in fact a time-traveling 1975-era Jonathan Richman.

I repeat: An alien named Klaatu is abroad in Washington, D.C. If you see him, do not panic. Call the authorities at once. Close all doors and windows. And for heaven's sake, do NOT rent him a room, even if he says it's just for a week

The comic is laid out so pg. 12&01 is printed on the back of pg. 02&11, and when our heroes smash the alien's color jars on pg. 11 allowing C, M, and Y ink to "flow back where it belongs", it violates the laws of Book Time & Space & splatters over the fold onto pg. 2. (2/2)

One gag in Art Spiegelman's 1980 12-pager "Two-Fisted Painters" (a giant riff on the madness-inducing chore of cutting gels for color separation in offset litho before the days of digital color) isn't visible until you take the staples out... (1/2)
