Memento mori? More like Memento WTFi. That ivory pendant is....can you imagine gifting that to someone? What does that say? "Carpe the hell out of your diem for tomorrow you are wormfood"? I don't know. Showing affection in 16thC Southern Germany: a real work-in-progress situation.

I dearly love that spider brooch though. And if that says something equally bad about me, I am willing to live with it.

This was an excellent issue and I won't sleep a wink tonight.

Holy god, that ivory pendant is insane! Amazing it's 512 years old. But I'd still rather have that in my house than the mirror. Nyerr. I could see sitting in front of that thing transfixed for months growing my old man beard...

I presume the cure for those who are haunted by beards is not to take a Smith Brothers cough drop and then listen to ZZ Top.

Great issue!
