OPPD #13 : Dirty Plotte

One of the dream sequences from Dirty Plotte, by Julie Doucet. Probably my favorite, because I love Nick Cave, and I love how it comes out. Nick brings her up on stage, swings her around by the legs for awhile, then plays a dirty trick on her and runs away. Huh? The dream sequences are always very interesting and highly symbolic in this book, without losing their more surreal elements. Lots of people draw out their dreams but it's harder to really tap into that. There should be some new comics from Julie Doucet this year. Hopefully.

On a dream-related tangent, I also really like Slow Wave, an online comic where the cartoonist illustrates submissions from the readers where they describe their dreams. It usually turns out better than it sounds.
