Putting the call out

I'm trying to track down a comic for a reference, but all my attempts to do so have, so far, been in vain. Here's what I can remember:

• It's a comic from the last fifteen years or so, I'm guessing mid-to-late '90s
  
• I thought it was a Superman comic, but I could be wrong about that
  
• I'm pretty sure Ron Frenz did the art
  
• The plot goes something like this: a big alien monster is tearing stuff up, but is eventually stopped by the hero, whereupon an alien in a spacesuit comes to retrieve it. Turns out the big monster is the alien's pet. The hero remarks that it's kind of like a dog, after which the alien removes its helmet to reveal a very canine-looking face, and says "something like that," or something like that.

At this point, I could probably draw the alien from memory. I remember the panel where it appears vividly, and especially the clearly-photoreferenced dog face, but I can't for the life of me figure out what comic this was in. Google has been no help, and flipping through random issues may take me several more days. Anyone know what this was off the top of their heads?

Adventures in Alphabetization

I've been buying a lot of music lately, and that's forced me into a sort of ethical quandary. Looking through the loosely-organized racks at new and used CD stores, the issue has become apparent and annoying, but I've been able to brush it off. Unfortunately, when I went through my collection and finally organized the big CD binder, I had to make a decision, one way or another, no room for compromise. Still, I'd like to hear input, to see if anyone else has dealt with this particular alphabetical dilemma.

I file solo artists according to the first letter of their last names, and bands according to the first letter of the band name, excluding articles (a, an, and the--and occasionally "el"). When a solo artist happens to perform under a band name (for instance, Aphex Twin), it's filed as though it's a band.

The dilemma revolves around Ben Folds, who once performed in a group, the Ben Folds Five. I've decided, after much deliberation, that "Ben Folds Five" is a band name, and as such is filed under "B;" Ben Folds, on the other hand, is a solo artist, and gets filed under "F." For "Folds." I'd have the same policy for, say, Dave Matthews, but I hate Dave Matthews, so I don't have to worry about it.

CD stores do not split hairs quite so carefully, which means if I want to buy any Ben Folds, I have to be sure to look in both the B and F sections, and a few sections in-between.

Assuming, of course, that I don't fall into a fugue state and start organizing their racks. It's been awhile since I did that (and that was in a graphic novel section at Borders), but I can't imagine they'd look too kindly on it. Although I did put the Goosebumps Horrorland books into proper numerical order at Wal-Mart a few days ago...
