I'm a little
late to the game on this blog but after some time and finally catching up on my
other class assignments I finally got around to another entry about the
"wonderful world of comics"; the underground comics for this week of
course. I myself am a big fan of independent comic artists and underground ones
too. A personal favorite of mine is The
Infernal Pact by Joseph Schmalkes (a local artist in Maine). It deals with
a biker gang that gets wrapped up in making a pact with a demon. Their subtitle
puts it down simply in the long run, its about "Sex, Drugs, Violence, and Damnation". Now I chose not to
re-read The Infernal Pact, instead I
chose to look into Tijuana Bibles, Fat Freddy's Cat, and Mickey Meets The Air Pirates.
The comic that
I took the most liking to no doubt and hands down Tijuana Bibles! It was just so humorous, and when it comes to
pervious, sexual, and provocative jokes I am a big fan! I’m not a fan of
limitations to humor. This comic just swept me off my feet. The style is
misleading, looking like the mild pin-up art that was common in the 1950s,
which honestly added more to the humor. I found it a bit relatable to a degree
but that’s private information. Overall it was just really fun to read through
and each segment was short sweet and to the point.
To be
perfectly honest I thought Fat Freddy’s
Cat was a take on Fritz The Cat upon
first glance (if you haven’t seen it I recommend it to those who are
adventurous in the cinema realm). The further I got into it though it reminded
me of some sort of adult parody of Garfield
and I think rightfully so since it’s a house cat causing mischief. I can’t
say I enjoyed it as much as Tijuana
Bibles though, but it was still a nice comic to read.
