The 8-yo spends a significant amount of free time drawing comic books (basically, whenever he’s not playing soccer or on his computer). And one of his favorite albums from the past year is The Decemberists’ The King Is Dead. So it is no surprise, probably, that he has made a comic book adaptation of their “Calamity Song” and “This Is Why We Fight.” His co-conspirator in this project was Alex Jarvis, who’s a co-founder of the comics site Spandexless (as well as his babysitter).
