...ounces of pure hell,” it’s actually a tasty tropical cocktail with a kick, served in a glass fishbowl with a plastic alligator that you can take home with you. Whenever anybody orders Trash Can Punch or Swamp Water, the waitress brings it to the table while blowing a whistle. Usually, at that point, the restaurant starts cheering again, and it’s proper Southern etiquette to invite the waitress to share the drink. If you’re not in the mood for something served in a bucket, there are slightly smaller options?...

...carefully scripted fiction. One panel, of a bunch of jovial paramilitaries enjoying their booty, laughing, sprawled on couches, seems lifted from Hogarth in its formal arrangement of bodies. Other, subtler uses of imagery seem at play too. One panel has the na?ve Sacco reaching for his wallet as the waitress' round serving tray forms a halo around his head. Sacco's panels in "The Fixer" will reveal more each time you examine them...
