Everything looks the same

The last time I went shopping in the FNAC, I had a déjà-vu when I was looking at the comic stand. Or at least I thought I had one, just for a moment. In reality, the feeling was triggered because on the display, right above one comic was another comic with almost an identical page layout.
My first thought was: what a coincidence. But only seconds later I bumped into another cover with a lot of similiarity to the first two. When I moved to the music section of the store, I noticed that lookalikes where not hard to find.

So far for creativity and originality.

Similar music album covers:
And even the Beasty Boys aren't that original anymore..

Comic of the year ?

I think I just read the comic of the year. Once every while a comic finds true big commercial success, on quality-credit only. Some years ago we had Blankets, Local only made it halfway there (buy that book !), Blue Pills is on its way and now Daytripper is the one that deserves it's chance. Touching, inventive and pure. It's VERTIGO material, so don't even think twice.

Hope you like it as much as I did.
