A man argues with the "skeleton on his back" - one of the four plots in very cool and depressing new "Halfway House Comics" from 1989. I love the art.

NEW UNDOCUMENTED GENRE ADDED TO COMICS WITH PROBLEMS:
COMICS FOR HALFWAY HOUSES

Halfway houses are interesting places. To those unfamiliar, here's an appropriate wikipedia definition:

The purpose of a halfway house, also called a recovery house or sober house, is generally to allow people to begin the process of reintegration with society, while still providing monitoring and support; this is generally believed to reduce the risk of recidivism or relapse when compared to a release directly into society. Some halfway houses are meant solely for reintegration of persons who have been recently released from prison or jail, others are meant for people with chronic mental health disorders, and most others are for people with substance abuse issues. 

And boy are we happy to find they have a comic! This one's got a dandy of a depressing plot, too.
