Good afternoon, ModBloggers! Hoo boy, summer took a while, but now it has arrived with all of its trademark scrotum-droopening hellishness. Hooray. In honor of this terrible inferno, here is a pretty fantastic sleeve based on the myth of Icarus, one of the all-time great stories about what a dumb asshole the sun can be. I’ll fly as close to you as I damn-well please, you intergalactic bully. More shots, after the jump.
