One can still sneak up on me occasionally and make me laugh, but overall if your comic is mostly farts or dicks, unless you&#8217;ve found some kind of landmark new angle about it, it&#8217;s not going to do much for me. And speaking of which, there&#8217;s this comic. This is the only one of the few of his comics I have left to review that didn&#8217;t make me roll my eyes just by looking at the cover, so maybe I just won&#8217;t review those? We&#8217;ll see. This one starts off with our hero chasing down some friends to tell them a &#8220;yo mama&#8221; joke, after which they get offended and try to chase him down, to which he responds by letting out a serious fart. And he&#8217;s half skunk, so maybe it&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s the optimistic part of my review, anyway. Also, while the artwork is fine, the quality of the whole thing looks like something that&#8217;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<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250622_0006.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"703\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250622_0006-703x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29090\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250622_0006-703x1024.jpg 703w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250622_0006-206x300.jpg 206w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250622_0006-768x1119.jpg 768w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250622_0006-1054x1536.jpg 1054w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250622_0006-1405x2048.jpg 1405w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250622_0006-172x250.jpg 172w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250622_0006-120x175.jpg 120w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250622_0006-26x38.jpg 26w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250622_0006-148x215.jpg 148w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_20250622_0006.jpg 1625w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 703px) 100vw, 703px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website The Oddysee of Pal I made this disclaimer the last time I reviewed one of Danny&#8217;s comics, and it&#8217;s probably best that I make it again: I&#8217;m more or less over purely juvenile comics.
