Rubenstein, Kenan – The Pyramid

The Pyramid

Kenan mentioned in his note that this comic takes place right before the events in On The Beach, so in the barest of nods to trying to keep things in proper chronological order, this is where it goes on the page.  Of course, I have no idea where Prologue fits into all that, but it would logically go first, right?  Ah, the wonders of putting these pages together.  This issue unfolds much like On The Beach, as it starts with that little panel (the cover), folds out into a slightly larger panel (the sample) and gets bigger and bigger from there.  The story this time appears to be that of a sudden breakup, as Kenan and a friend are packing all his stuff up to be moved into a creepy storage locker.  There’s a delightfully awkward moment between Kenan and his ex as they say goodbye, then Kenan and his friend get all philosophical while loading all his stuff into the garage.  That probably makes it sound stupid but, as always with this guy, it ended up being more insightful than anything else.  It’s worth a look, and I have to admit to being a big fan of how they’re put together.  This is one of those things that you have to read in printed form, you just don’t get the same effect looking at this on your computer.  $1.50
