Martin The Satanic Raccoon

What stands out in my mind from this one is the sheer gratuitousness of the violence. If you think that’s a bad thing, stay away. If you’re like me and are capable of having some fun with this kind of stuff, you can probably get a laugh or two out of this. This is a collection of the best of (according to him) his college stuff, and some of it’s pretty funny. Some of it isn’t, but, for Christ’s sake, he was in college. It’s hard to bitch too much about the fact that everything he chose from his college days wasn’t brilliant. I don’t get why that raccoon is there at all though. All he does is smirk and scratch himself while the author tells about much more interesting things, such as “mung”, the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen, and that’s saying a whole bunch. I’m not going to tell you what it is to spare you some nightmares. Hey, if you’re that curious, go ahead and e-mail the guy. I’m sure he has some copies of this laying around, and I know he has at least one more issue out. Anyway, he goes on to give some of the more interesting quotes from the Bible, a nasty prank for a public bathroom, Kiss babies, how to get money out of animal rights activists, and greatest failed suicide attempts, among other things. He seems to like serial killers a little too much, but he was young and I’m sure he got past all that. Here’s a sample strip for your perusal. This should tell you all you need to know about whether or not you’ll like this.
