Frank Frazetta’s prodigious and varied output is given even more breadth by a new collection from IDW of the artist’s humor work.

Or the matter of the day as I like to call it. I’ve been saving up my links and girding my loins. I guess I feel a bit defensive about it because not commenting on something is often attacked as condoning this or supporting that.
