The latest issue in Nilsen's ongoing epistemological entreaty employing avian intermediaries is currently expounding from our shelves. This issue comes to us in a deluxe 40-page, French-flapped edition, in which the flaps themselves are cleverly employed to provide us with a full-color line-up of the cast of characters that will be edifying to all but will be especially useful to newer readers in helping them to navigate their way through the symbol strewn landscape of this series. | |||||

Already another issue! This is the shortest interval between issues since D & Q began publishing it with the seventh issue; and not only that, but this time out we have a double-length 48-page issue! It appears that Mr. Nilson has been eating his Wheaties™. This issue comes equipped with French flaps which provide the added bonus of cameo-style portraits and mini-bios of the entire cast of characters. We know that this issue, coming so fast on the heels of the last, and being a double issue to boot, will be a shock to the wallet of some, and so we are offering it, for now, at a special reduced price. | |||||

Yes, it's here. Apologies for not noting it earlier... This issue features straight-up bird-on-bird action in a single, issue-length story. Anders takes us on yet another metaphorical foray into our life and times, as his fine flock of feathered friends gets jumped by a gang of crows set on mayhem and murder. | |||||

This time around Mr. Nilsen appears to goes heavy on the irony, as the contents of this issue seem to more closely resemble the characteristics of bitterness and darkness than those of sweetness and light; but appearances can be deceiving; perhaps that's the point here; perhaps it's all in the eye of the beholder; perhaps it's all open to interpretation. 48 pages, seven chapters; a pilot, a sleeping idiot, a bunch of birds and a pack of dogs; heavily labored, detailed pen and ink drawings, rhythmic repetitions punctuated by startling and dramatic images. What's it all add up to? That is for Anders to know and you and I to figure out. Enigmatic, mysterious, obscurely hinting at something just beyond comprehension: yes, it's the latest -- and, at least so we've heard, the penultimate -- issue of Big Questions (although now we've heard otherwise...). | |||||

The world's most philosophically inquisitive birds continue in their confrontation with the mysteries of the (at least to them) unknown while you, the reader, are left to find the proper perspective from which to view the diverse diffractions of Anders's angled arguments. Highlights in this issue include: crows, the pilot of the plane and doughnuts. See you there. | |||||
