I’m reading a biography of stage magician Howard Thurston (1869-1936) and this silly idea about how magicians sold the idea of mysteries and the huge egos they had popped into my head. Creep Rat believes he has something over the audience but he’s an idiot. Yes. death is a mystery — but how one can cause a death is no mystery of all.
Humor strip by Kaz, about sordid doings in a surreal city.
About Kaz
Kaz grew up a working class brat who loved cartoons, monsters, punk rock and fine arts. He studied cartooning at NYC’s School of Visual Arts under art spiegelman and Harvey Kurtzman. In 1991 he created the Harvey-nominated strip Underworld which continues to be published in alternative weekly papers across the United States. Since 2001 he has written for Spongebob Squarepants, Cartoon Network’s Camp Lazlo and Disney’s Phineas & Ferb.
“[H]e’s an idiot.”
I disagree. I think Creep Rat is brilliant. It’s just that his brilliance is too transcendent for the world he lives in.
