Two Chester Brown Panels That Always Make Me Laugh

May 23, 2007 by matt 2 Comments

There are certain comics panels that sometimes appear in my memory out of the blue and make me laugh, and a lot of them are from the early work of Chester Brown. This one pops up most frequently (it’s the third panel from Chester Brown’s Ed the Happy Clown saga; Ed is on his way to entertain the kids at a children’s hospital):The doctor’s pipe is the coup de grâce.

    Hey Matt– When I read the headline for this entry, I immediately thought of the panel of the kid getting a zero at the end of the Inuit tale. That and the one he **didn’t** publish…with the kid’s reply…excellent!
