Comic shortcuts?
I stumbled across this, via surreptitious link-surfing:

A fantastic blog entry. Why? Well, there's a few reasons:
* Here is a guy that heard about a "Holy Grail", bought it, and has now put it into the public domain.
* It has a backstory that he's explained adequately, retaining some of the mystique around the item, but stating enough of the relevant facts for you to feel like you know what has happened.
* 22 Panels That Always Work! It's a great concept. Can we distill any other "black arts" down to this sort of level? Have they been, and us poor schmuck outsiders don't know about it?
* Comic books are cool.
