Tuxedo Bandit #2<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s pretty much always a good sign when the second book in a series takes whatever criticism I may have had of it and disposes of it in the first story.\u00c2\u00a0 My complaint was “too much poo” for the first issue and, don’t get me wrong, I’m not claiming that I had anything to do with this change, as these two issues came together and I really hope I don’t have that kind of power to influence the creative types anyway.\u00c2\u00a0 Ever, I mean.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m a guy with a website, people, let’s keep that in mind.\u00c2\u00a0 My only “qualification” to do this is the fact that I’ve been reading comics for 20 years or so, and good ones for about 12.\u00c2\u00a0 Clear?\u00c2\u00a0 OK, anyway, the first story in this issue deals with the fact that Tuxedo Bandit is constantly crapping on Dr. Klaw.\u00c2\u00a0 Dr. Klaw finally reaches his breaking point, a therapist is called in, and Rainer manages to hilariously dispose of all the crap jokes in one four page story.\u00c2\u00a0 All of the pieces are longer this time around, and Rainer manages to go for the cheap laughs all over the place, making this is a much better overall comic because of it.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s a story about the two of them trying to make some money selling an Alan Arkin autograph, Tuxedo Bandit going on a blind date after getting caught masturbating, Dr. Klaw getting fused with a suckling pig, and Tuxedo Bandit becoming a poet.\u00c2\u00a0 At the very end there’s also one last poop joke but, as it’s at the end of the book and not surrounded by a hundred other poop jokes, it’s pretty damned funny.\u00c2\u00a0 So overall I’d have to say to pick this one up over #1, as this one actually fleshes out the stories while maintaining the funny.\u00c2\u00a0 Of course, if all you’re looking for in a comic is nonstop poop jokes, chances are you’re going to feel like Rainer “sold out” a bit on this one and with that he would go back to his funnier stuff.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s just no pleasing some people.\u00c2\u00a0 Again with the no price tag, again I’m guessing $4.<\/p>\n
