Tardcore Comics

Well, it’s finally happened. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m really starting to wonder if I’m getting too old for this sort of thing. I think this is a book I would have thought was hilarious 5 years ago, but now… not so much. It’s all about the gross-out humor, which has made me chuckle in the past, but didn’t get a thing out of me here. There are two big stories and the one page that I sampled, in case any of you didn’t know what “mung” was. First is the story of an alien trying to convince a bum to touch his “mar-mar”, and second is the story of Billy blowing out his asshole while trying to win a weight lifting competition in high school. Both of these are told in gruesome detail, and I can’t argue with Lee’s talents when it comes to drawing the nasty stuff. The writing is fine too; there are some genuinely funny reactions from people when Billy is trying to hold himself together. It’s a cop-out, granted, but maybe it’s just me, getting older and significantly less interested in this sort of thing. If you haven’t reached an advanced stage of fuddy-duddytude yet, check it out, it’ll give you a good laugh or two. If you have, please feel free to join me over here, holding my pinky in the air while I read only the finest of the fancypants comics… $2.99
