They&#8217;re mostly about the adventures of Patty Cake and all her friends (and enemies) and, while it&#8217;s probably not the thing to be reading if you&#8217;re in the mood for some serious, life-changing stuff, it&#8217;s funny and frantic enough to put a smile on your face if you&#8217;re sitting around bored some afternoon. Kind of reminded me of back when Ren and Stimpy was funny, with the tiniest hint of a conscience thrown in. Not much of one, and the ad about the baby doll that has the breakable bones and splints is wrong in a few ways but hilarious, but he&#8217;s still clearly writing with the idea that kids will probably pick this up at some point. I thought kids only read X-Men? Anyway, the art is almost spastic in its insanity and the writing really is &#8220;all ages&#8221;.
