and everything i saw seemed to get so small like from a speeding car, old familiar barns
i can’t seem to figure out whether this album is breaking my heart or making me fall in love. all i know for sure is that i can’t stop listening to it.
1968, Neal Adams cover. And mine’s signed by Neal!
From the 13th Dimension site on Adams’ original Deadman comics:
“Once again, I chose to use the dropout concept to create a big face in the color. So I did the big face as a separate drawing and then I had it dropped out in red and blue. People were not used to seeing faces that large on comic-book covers so it was a little bit surprising for people. And so it was a very memorable cover. And I managed to get the fight with Deadman and Eagle on the cover in spite of the gigantic face, who is screaming, and, of course, is Deadman.”
I love them so much because they’re about as sharp as a baseball and their anatomy is ridiculous to the point of them literally being classified as plankton for years because they just sort of get blown around by the ocean and look confused, but because they lay more eggs than ANY OTHER VERTEBRATE IN EXISTENCE, evolution can’t stop them
Why is no big predator coming and gnawing on them?
Their biggest defense is that they’re massive and have super tough skin, but they do get hunted by sharks or sea lions sometimes and they just sort of float there like ‘oh bother’ as it happens
Even funnier, because they eat nothing but jellyfish they’re really low in nutritional value anyway, so they basically survive by being not worth eating because they’re like a big floating rice cracker wrapped in leather.
So basically the only reason natural selection hasn’t taken care if them is because they are the most useless fish
yes, they’ve perfected uselessness to the point of being unstoppable
