Week Six

Tits & Clits/ Gay Comix

These were quite interesting little gems. I have to be honest, I was a bit uncomfortable with the source material, so I didn't read these all the way through. However, I found the content of the comics to be very eye-opening.

When I think comics, I mainly think Superheroes, along with some of the classics we've discussed in the past (Little Nemo, Scrooge McDuck, etc.). I've been used to comics being portrayed a certain way and having certain censorships. You can understand how shocked (no pun intended) when I flip a page and find a naked man with an erect penis having a power cord shoved up his ass.

Wow.

I totally get shock humor, I absolutely love it. I'm a huge South Park fan. For some reason, the transition to comics rubs me the wrong way. Yeah, in "Air Pirates" it's pretty damn funny to see Mickey talking about how "no one wants to fuck him". That had me giggling hard, but there's still a part of me that's slightly disturbed that its in a comic book. It's the weirdest thing. Maybe its because hard-drawn illustrations feel more personal. I feel more connected to an individual that felt the desire to draw this. Maybe that's what creeps me out. I don't know.
