The graphic novel series Saga by Brian K. Vaughan doesn’t need me to promote it. But reading the first volume of the hardback collection I couldn’t help but pause at this frame. That, as the kids say, is a mood.

Sleep of Reason
I got this poster of Goya’s famous print at a Seattle Art Museum exhibition on the invention of cartooning. “El sueño de la razón produce monstruos” (The sleep of reason produces monsters”) has hung on my wall ever since, and for the past few years has felt so much more timely than anything produced in the late 1700s should. I hope to be able to look at it with a little more distance in the future.
