Underground Comics
Air Pirate Funnies is the comic version of Cards Against Humanity, right down to the proposition paragraph of why the reader should subscribe on the last page. Considering how nothing goes uncensored, that gives these comics a certain charm to them despite its graphic material. Considering how there are classic Disney characters in sexual situations, it easily makes everything better, worse, and odd all at once. The Silly Sympathies issues go even further because everything is drawn in full detail despite the simplistic art style. Dirty Duck is my favorite of all the other issues because he has a more defined personality and everybody else does things that make sense to their character. The zany humor that's seen in classic cartoons like Merry Melodies and Metric Golden Mayor cartoons are an added bonus. That said, the graphic nature of seeing Micky and Minnie have an adult fun time together was unexpected, despite being aware of the nature of Underground Comics.
I like "Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers" because it gave a satirical look of the 70's. "Fat Freddy's Cat" is a more mature version of Garfield, because the cat actually does stuff and the overall nature of these two comics knows what they want to say and won't hold anything back. "4 Sketchbooks" is interesting because it's exactly that, sketchbook drawings, giving a unique perspective on the artists' psyche. For each new comic, I get a little scared because I wouldn't know the exact way they'd go about offending me or how scarred I may get in the process. Overall, underground comics give an interesting insight of the times they were made in, what they intended to say and pushed the narrative while saying it, and good for the artists staying dedicated to their work, consistent art, and finding creative ways on offending everybody.
