The Oddysee of Pal

I made this disclaimer the last time I reviewed one of Danny’s comics, and it’s probably best that I make it again: I’m more or less over purely juvenile comics. One can still sneak up on me occasionally and make me laugh, but overall if your comic is mostly farts or dicks, unless you’ve found some kind of landmark new angle about it, it’s not going to do much for me. And speaking of which, there’s this comic. This is the only one of the few of his comics I have left to review that didn’t make me roll my eyes just by looking at the cover, so maybe I just won’t review those? We’ll see. This one starts off with our hero chasing down some friends to tell them a “yo mama” joke, after which they get offended and try to chase him down, to which he responds by letting out a serious fart. And he’s half skunk, so maybe it’s less fart and more self defense? Nope, not spending any more time trying to figure that out. From there we learn where Pal came from (it’s in the sample image, in case you were curious), whether or not he answers the call to be a hero, and then ends in a way that throws away the comic that came before the ending, or at least changes the direction completely for seemingly no reason. So overall maybe this series could still develop into something? That’s the optimistic part of my review, anyway. Also, while the artwork is fine, the quality of the whole thing looks like something that’s been copied repeatedly and is starting to lose cohesion. It was more than a little bit distracting, at least to me. So overall maybe give it a look if the idea of a farting half skunk hero seems like your thing? As always, my opinions may very well not be your opinions. $3

Dick Blaster

The long, gradual but inevitable process of this website replacing my own memories continues, as I was surprised to see that Danny had already been reviewed on this website. Only once, almost a decade ago for a comic that I was a little hard on, but it had long since flown out of my brain. Still, the website remembers! Is that a bad sign? It seems like it should be, but I can’t put my finger on why. Anyway! This is the mostly silent story of Dick Blaster, and things start off with him milking a cow. Which seems innocuous enough, but the cows of this land have giant penises instead of udders. And since that’s the first thing the reader sees, I’m just going to say that if that’s enough for you to drop out of this review, fair enough! Perfectly fine if it’s not your sort of comic. For the rest of us creeps/people who can’t stop reviewing a comic just because of something like that, read on! From there own hero trades his, um, “milk” to finance a trip through an apocalyptic wasteland. He rides a giant chicken like a horse, his cows stick with him, and he eventually runs into a giant robotic ape, as one does in an apocalyptic wasteland. It doesn’t go well for our hero, he’s rescued by a tribe of mostly women and one bro, but he has revenge on his mind against that monkey. The rest of the issue deals with that (and another confrontation), but hey, I’m not going to tell you everything. I wasn’t sure if this was the first issue (they were nice enough to send a few), but that seems to be the case judging by the website. No introduction, no clue what’s happening in a big picture sense, but after the story we learn that Dick was the one that caused this mess somehow. Maybe it’ll come up later? Overall it was a decent enough comic; I thoroughly enjoyed the art, but the humor might get a little stale after a few issues. We’ll see I guess! $5

Electric Transit #3

Can you read the title of that comic from the cover or was it just me who was completely unable to make it out? The back of the book mentions the previous volumes, otherwise that title was going to remain a mystery. And I don’t know if the pages were shrunken down from a larger source or if they just came from a terrible copy machine, but there were several places where this was just completely unreadable. It took me back to the days before computer printers or the several other options available for putting out your book. Maybe you’re nostalgic for those days, but I’m not. Wow, look at that pile of negativity to start a review for a book that I didn’t hate! I didn’t love it either, but I get unduly annoyed when the basics aren’t covered, and that’s with me leaving out the spelling errors on the first page. Anyway, there are several smaller stories in here and one larger story. It’s probably my fault that I had a lot of trouble following it, as that’s what happens when you jump into the third book of a series first, but a synopsis somewhere never hurt anybody either. That larger story deals with two people who are hitchhiking their way… somewhere. We learn eventually that they’re going to New York, or at least that’s where they end up at the end of this story. Um, spoiler alert? They met up with some interesting characters along the way, but this was also the section of the book that suffered the most from bad copies/shrunken images. Other stories are usually either a page or less than that, but subjects include being forced to socialize, a new baby, porkratamus, a zombie dog, non-organic chicken and a complete lack of the giant robot that was promised on the cover. Overall I’d put this one in the “so-so” category, although it probably would have been upgraded if I could have read the whole thing. Here’s to #4 being more legible!
