Commentary by Solsbury Committee
We're first going to look at at comic called Gea. Here, the protagonist comes home to chill out to some Genesis tunes.
It's hard to tell from our scan, but on the bottom of the first page you can tell the cd the woman is holding is The Lamb, and the ones on the floor are Wind and Wuthering, and Selling England by the Pound.
The top of the second page (where the lyrics to "Fly on a Windshield" are shown in English and Italian) is eerily familiar...add fifty more Solsburians sitting around the room and give the cat a fluffier tail, and it's this scene is indistinguishable from your standard Solsbury Committee staff meeting. Oh, and aren't those bitchin' stereo speakers?
Next up is one from a comic called SprayLiz, where we catch a Rael wanna-be in action...
As our heroine sprays anti-corporate messages graffitti on a building, she belts out "Kiss that Frog" and the tenants tell her to shut up (and to be fair, since we can assume her voice isn't as great as Gabriel's they may be in the right...) According to Alta Vista's Babelfish Engine, "vero genio" means "true genius".
So remember kids, Us is not only for those seeking explore the depths of relationships...it can be used as a soundtrack to deface property to, as well. Gabriel's music is nothing if not versitile.
Not pictured is another Gea comic which is titled Mother of Violence, which uses the lyrics to "Mother of Violence" as a gang goes on a killing spree.
And last, but not least...well, we'll let Stefano describe this one: "The comic strip writiers Riccardo Secchi and Alessio Beccati created 5 years ago a strange story of a nun with magical powers called Gabriel. The first number of this of this comic strip was called Genesi (in English, Genesis)."
And you thought your Sunday school teacher was scary. We wouldn't suggest that you mess with this Sister!
