Garfield without Garfield

I always thought Garfield sucked, until I saw Garfield without Garfield’s dialog. And now someone’s gone one step further, and gotten rid of Garfield entirely.

Broken Sex: remembering Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge
I have a piece up in the new issue of Key 64:
Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge, born Jacqueline Breyer in 1969, passed away Tuesday 9th October 2007. Lady Jaye and her partner Genesis Breyer P-Orridge spent the past several years living an “art as life project” sometimes called “Breaking Sex.” The couple altered their own appearances to look more and more like each other, forming a third ” pandrogenous” entity they called Breyer P-Orridge.
Lady Jaye met Genesis in 1993 and the couple began to align their appearances. Eventually, Genesis had gone as far as he could in making himself more feminine without surgery. So for their tenth anniversary, on Valentines Day 2003, the couple got matching breast implants together.
The rest of the new issue of Key 64 is here and includes contributions from Paul Laffoley, Jack Malebranche, Wes Unruh, Ikipr, Nick Pell and more.

Warren Ellis’s Black Summer
![]()
Warren Ellis is writing a comic about a super hero who kills the president.
Oh, Ellis. He’s so shocking and confrontational. How can you push super hero ethics any further? Oh I know, maybe he could make a comic where a super hero kills thousands of innocent people in order to unite the whole world against a common, but imaginary threat.
Oh, wait…
Seriously, this just looks awful. I don’t see it as being much of a “deconstruction” nor very interesting politically nor ethically. Should a superhero kill the president is right up there with “If you could travel back in time and kill Hitler, would you?” for un-interesting party conversation. It’s just straight-up shock value.
Alan Moore was doing far more interesting things in Watchmen and even V for Vendetta (which is now a major motion picture) over 20 years ago. Moore’s stories pose far more disturbing questions. Ellis is just breaking a taboo.
