Meyer, Doug – Napalm Pinata #3

Napalm Pinata #3

I’m not sure what to make of this one. I enjoyed most of the issue, as it’s all a very random collection of jokes and short stories, but it wasn’t something that I thought was all that great. Then somewhere in the middle is the story that I sampled, and if you think the part that you can see is odd, you have no idea how much stranger it gets after that. To give you a hint, it involves a cat, an octopus and a dog and it’s one of the funniest stories I’ve seen in a while. It’s worth getting for that alone, but what else is in here? Well, there’s a man belching up a baby, a chick that mysteriously turns into eggs, a robot who finally gets off the assembly line, a tiger who turns his friend into money so they can be better friends… and that’s all I’m going to give you. Doug uses a few different styles here, as it looks like he’s just trying stuff out, but a lot of it works and the story about the guy who gets his brain replaced with eggs is priceless. E-mail the man and demand that he make more comics, OK?
