Mingus

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

Mingus flies like a cat.

In the history of Vertigo, there are cats and dogs, there are lions and tigers, there are abjectly horrific mutant cannibal cows and sensuous hippopotamuses who seduce unsuspecting singing bushes. But there's only one flying feline, and he's a particularly fictitious flying feline at that. From a book within a book comes little Tommy Taylor's Hedwig du jour, the familiar to our dashing faux Potter. And as such, you have to respect Mingus' ability to continue to exist in the face of the consistent knowledge that he's a storybook character from a book within a book. That takes some mojo to really swing his sort of nonexistence. A certain inescapable will to kind of exist. Rainbow Raider would be impressed.

Rating: Flash Gordon.
