...ever seen Antoine Walker play? The fact that a basketball team at any level—I’m talking eighth grade JV—could win with Walker boggles my mind. He shoots 20 percent from the field, he perenially leads the league in turnovers and his woeful ballhandling skills should be showcased on a bloopers tape of that Nike commercial where everyone dribbles in rhythm.

...editorial opinion, DC Comics felt that the cover Dan Clowes created was different from the one we envisioned for Bizarro Comics." Clowes' version appears with this article so you can judge for yourself why DC may not have liked it. Perhaps they didn't like their properties portrayed as woeful and mundane: feeling low and worrying about taxes...
