The New Comics Anthology #[nn]
In "The Laffin' Spittin' Man," Robert Sikoryak channels the avant-garde spirit of composer John Cage through a playful, pastiche-rich comic that reimagines classic newspaper strips with surreal twists. Evoking titles like *Pogo*, *Krazy Kat*, and *Peanuts*, the story blends absurdist humor and artistic experimentation in a self-contained, inventive anthology piece. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Sikoryak, it’s a standout showcase of his singular style and love for comic history.
