Yeah I was wondering this as well.

it's about three common animals - a dog, a cat, and a rabbit - who the military turned into lethal cyborgs as part of a weapons program. they escape and go looking for a loving home. it's like homeward bound crossed with rambo

I am not nearly haute enough to understand

nah comic books are pop art like trashy tv shows or films. that's why comic book movies and shows do so well

the real haute stuff isn't as popular and is harder to find

chris ware is prly the best artist in the medium today but his works are difficult to read both literarily and just in terms of mechanically reading them. also they make you want to kill yourself

Alan Moore's Lost Girls is the most embarassing comic, and I knew somebody who owned a physical copy of it and once people found out lets say nobody was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he wasnt a gross pervert who should live alone forever.

it's only *technically* child porn, really they're 200 year old literary constructs you see, and nabokov's lolita is high literature and furthermore :rant:
