This week was different then the others. We were asked to read
some underground comics. These comics push the envelope a lot. They crossed a lot of lines and were very
inappropriate. At this time everyone and even today think comic books are only
for children. The underground comics were made for adults. They are very crudely
drawn because these were just random people drawing these comics. They were not professionally made or done by a professional
printing press company. They were printed by people that randomly had a printing press and distributed that way. Most of the
themes would have sex, drinking and prostitution. Basically it was a porno
but in comic form.
I don't feel comfortable putting the title I read on here. So please bear with me rambling
about this comic. Thank you.
The underground comic that I read follows the life of a cat
doing random cat things or thinking it’s a human being. Like most underground
comics that come out of the underground this has nudity, strong violence,
drugs, and so on. This comic book is made up of many short strips of this
particular fat cat doing random things. The stories go from him having warfare
with ants, to being on drugs with his owner, the cat thinking it’s a cop and
killing whole bunch of people and so on. This comic doesn't have a filtration system, it's just rambles with weird stories that involve the cat. Overall okay, there were some funny parts in it. For an example the cat crap and the owner’s typewriter got shocked.
The artwork is crudely made and sometimes very hard to
understand or read what is happening in frames. The comic does have some nice panels
but they’re not consistent throughout the whole comic.
These types of comics are not really my cup of tea so I will
end it at that.
