This is what you might call a “high concept” strip. Breaking with twenty three issues of continuity, this one has no baseball cards in it — except that it so totally does so. Complicated.

I bought some baseball cards last weekend at the beach; the above is evidence of this, but that’s not all: this is a little slideshow right here of the selection process, and if you prefer less auto-switchy and more clicky-and-ready in your picture looking experience, check out the raw pictures, baby.

It’s an art and a science, by gum.
