"The End" Week: Fillerbunny #3!

Because I'm messy, I probably have another copy of this, on my bookshelf somewhere with other beloved mini-comics like Evan Dorkin's Milk & Cheese Darth Vader Overdrive or Adrian Tomine's Optic Nerve. From 2005, Filler Bunny #3, story and art by Jhonen Vasquez.

Re-reading this one, man, I forgot how dense it was for just a silly little throwaway: Fillerbunny was created to fill a page in the Johnny the Homicidal Maniac trade that originally was an ad, then later Jhonen Vasquez would make three mini-comics with the hapless, tortured page-filler. This last issue took longer than the first couple, partly because Vasquez took some other jobs midstream; but it seems like something he had fun doing. He also admits in an editorial-style confessional, when he tells people he's working on another Fillerbunny book, their eyes don't exactly light up with anticipation; but so what?

I feel like the print run for this was probably massive by today's standards? Although I don't think it would go on to be a perennial seller like Johnny or even Squee!
