I still have a copy of THE TURNIPS OF PROGRESS somewhere. About fifty pages in, that ghostwriter just said 'screw it, I'm writing Marxist erotica' and it. Gets. WEIRD.

Since I know that lots of folks like to repost my comics on blogs, Tumblr, etc (which I’m totally fine with and encourage), I’m trying something new! Here’s today’s comic in a square, more blog-friendly format (and here it is already on Tumblr).

Is Headstabbers a remake?

Longtime readers know the Headstabbers literary/cinematic franchise is extremely popular (and prolific) in whatever time and place Wondermark occurs.

But a reader wrote in to let me know that it may actually be a remake! There is a 1978 German film called Messer im Kopf – in English, Knife in the Head.

As this review raves, the film contains, at least for the time:

“…arguably the most realistic enactment of a brain injury ever depicted in the cinema.”

A more succinct summary of Headstabbers you would be hard-pressed to find.
