Pulp and Archie détournement

Here's a clever détournement using panels from Archie comics and the lyrics from Pulp's Common People.

It reminds me a little bit of Graham Rawle's brilliant novel written from snippets of vintage women's magazines, Woman's World.

Sorry, I just have to mention William Shatner singing Common People.

I was just going to post that this comic works much better when based on the Shatner version.

Is anyone else reminded of Rodney Dangerfield from natural born killers in the Shatner clip? could have used one more rehearsal, probably. really feel for poor Joe Jackson trying to harmonize.

Love the archie, tho. Combination of many of my favourite things

Brian Ibbott of Coverville & others podcasts just did a "Lyrics Undercover" on this song. http://www.lyricsundercover.com/?p=104
