Underpanting

Underpants! What could possibly be wrong in a comic dedicated to underpants? Not a damned thing, that’s what. The bulk of this comic is specifically dedicated to the underpants of the devil and their travels throughout the years on various people. The powers of these underpants are sporadic and unreliable, and frankly they don’t seem that impressive in any case, except for the page I sampled. There’s also a story about peer pressure and stripping to your underwear with your friends, unless, of course, you happen to live in a fascist society where people don’t agree with your right to stand around in your underpants. Wrapping all of this up is a sketchbook-like gallery with various creatures, real and imagined, standing around in their underpants. This may well be the highlight of the book, even though the parts with actual words are hilarious. The bottom line is that if this concept is funny to you (i.e. if you are someone who is still capable of appreciating humor in this bleak world), then what are you waiting for? Also, I realize that I used up my monthly quota of writing the word “underpants” in just this one review, but it was worth it…$1
