Chucky

Ah, I do love the 24 hour comics, especially when they somehow end up looking as great as this one. This is the story of Bill Chickowski, the creator of a comic strip called Chucky Chicken. Bill started as someone with great ideas, someone who hoped to make a difference, but gave it all up when his girlfriend was gunned down in front of him protesting the Vietnam war. Bill has grown to accept the fact that Chucky has become a bland corporate mascot over the years, until he reads a story that says Chucky is going to endorse George W. Bush in 2004, and promptly snaps. It’s a great story about trying to keep some sort of artistic integrity when you’re in the meat grinder of daily comic strips, not to mention dealing with the legions of fans who can’t see why Bill would ever want to change “their Chucky”, nor do they understand why he’s able to do so with impunity. Worth checking out if you have a buck lying around, I do with people who did these 24 hour comics would put some sort of afterward in their books though, I sometimes get the idea (due to the quality of the work) that they must have been cheating a little bit on inking or something…
