Turned up a few more promo things during our post Augean stable-cleaning in the backroom:

From 1994 comes one of those signs that you’d slip behind a comic when it was on the rack:


It was never time for this.

(Okay, okay, actually for a non-founder Image title, it did better than expected. Save the hate mail.)

This is both amusing and depressing, which sums up the Gregory comics quite well, actually.

    “The Earth will move this February?”
