Hellboy: Pancakes by Mike Mignola. Has to be one of the greatest 2 page comic stories ever made.
Pamcakes.
“He has eaten the pancake.” I will not lie, I intoned that when my eldest first ate pancakes. I knew he had veered from a dark path at that moment.
Aside from the monkey with the gun, this is the greatest Hellboy thing ever.
Bonus: it’s also super good for teaching three-act structure, ‘cause it’s a complete, traditionally structured story that fits on a single slide.
This story is pure joy, and it’s a teaching tool? I love Hellboy so much.
My son had his first pancake just this weekend. My wife and I looked at each other trying to decide which of us would quote the line. Seeing the comic referenced now = perfect timing.
