Disco Slaughterhouse #1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Poor Nick Jeffrey.\u00c2\u00a0 He had a perfectly decent website, couldn’t keep up the costs (because you cheap bastards apparently didn’t buy enough of his comics, or perhaps you did buy enough of his comics and he spent it all on booze) and had somebody else take over the site and fill it with poetry.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m sure there are worse fates for a website, but if I eventually run out of money to keep this site going, I’d like somebody in the porn industry to buy it and at least have the decency to fill it with naked people.\u00c2\u00a0 There, somebody make a note of that for their “in case I get hit by a bus” file.\u00c2\u00a0 As for this comic, there are times when a cover tells the whole story, and this one succeeds admirably on that front.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s an old fat man (Mr. Anderson) who gets hired for a job with an advertising agency.\u00c2\u00a0 This agency, sadly, didn’t know that Mr. Anderson was old and fat, they thought they were hiring someone young and fresh.\u00c2\u00a0 Fired from his new job and with the case thrown out of court (as the judge didn’t sympathize with him either), he finds a way to get in shape and get the respect he deserves: steroids.\u00c2\u00a0 He is hired back on, but this time as the coach of a youth soccer team and, well, you can guess what happens next from that cover.\u00c2\u00a0 His team ends up playing a team of fat kids and makes fun of all the fatties, causing a flashback to his traumatic fat past, which leads to one of the bloodier scenes of a group of small children getting torn apart that I’ve ever seen.\u00c2\u00a0 Not that I’ve seen a whole lot of scenes of children getting torn apart.\u00c2\u00a0 It funnier than you might think, or at least it is if you’re like me and children mostly annoy you and you have enough of a functioning brain to see that this is a work of fiction.\u00c2\u00a0 That description of mine maybe makes this seem a bit dry, but there are funny bits throughout.\u00c2\u00a0 From the beginning strip with the squirrels (if I’m not mistaken they haven’t been seen since the days of Hillbilly Sex) to the products that the advertising agency comes up with to World’s Sexiest Baby 2007, I was chuckling throughout this book.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s all I ever ask from a comic that isn’t trying to teach me something, and sometimes even out of those comics.\u00c2\u00a0 Unless you’re a real delicate flower this comic is a pile of funny and something you should check out as soon as possible.\u00c2\u00a0 $3.50<\/p>\n
