Comic Reviews.

Usually when I come across reviews of records as cartoons I groan. (groan). Like this one from a back issue of Audion. (groan).

Wasn't someone doing this sort of thing for Vice Mag too. (groan).

But look at these, by Nick Sylvester at Pitchfork, for a review of the Daft Punk Remix LP. See them in their original context, along with Nick's witty commentary, here. Classic stuff.

I thought they'd be even better without the text and I was right! With commentary it's a bit too Rupert Bear if you know what I mean.
