Which is putting it mildly, but I&#8217;ll get to the specifics. The only benefit of the doubt I have left for this series is that maybe in the previous mini series all of the characters were fleshed out so wonderfully that I&#8217;m just coming into this late and I don&#8217;t get these people. That&#8217;s a pretty shaky premise, granted. So what bugged me? How about Michael Moore squeezing into a phone booth to get a pizza? Get it? He&#8217;s fat, you see. Or Vin Diesel speaking only in unintelligible grunts? He&#8217;s muscle-bound, you see. How about George Lucas yelling at somebody for wanting to use latex for an effect in a movie? His later movies are crap because of all the CGI. Or Eminem yelling faggot over and over (he&#8217;s apparently a bit of a homophobe in real life), or Michael Jackson registering for school as a 12 year old. The problem is that, while some of these things are true and able to be poked fun at, this is a lazy comic that is making fun of the stereotypes of these people a lot more than the actual people, which is what a good satirist does. It&#8217;s like all the people since the early 90&#8217;s who have been imitating Dana Carvey imitating George Bush Sr. instead of trying to imitate him themselves. It still looks good though, and at this point I think that if something is stupid enough there&#8217;s bound to be a huge audience for it somewhere. There&#8217;s a website up there, and it&#8217;s entirely possible that these guys could put out something good in the future, but this isn&#8217;t it. Oh, and if this hasn&#8217;t convinced you one way or the other, the next issue is apparently about Lara Croft of Tomb Raider fame. Just in case that does anything for you&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/tozzer222.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"594\" height=\"881\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Tozzer 2 #2 OK, I didn&#8217;t like this one either.
