Underground Comics

This week we read some examples of underground comics.  This by far was my favorite week.  Some of the comics I read were Tits and Clits, Tijuana Bibles, and The Furry Freak Brothers.  These comics covered everything from sex and drugs to rock and roll.  The best part about the The Furry Freak Brothers was the story line about Fat Freddy’s cat.  The story line about the Furry Freak Brothers themselves was stoners getting into everyday trouble.  But the cat seemed to have more character development. 

Tijuana Bibles were funny.  It was kind of poorly drawn, but still gave a style that was easy to follow.  They were short and to the point, which was nice.  Looking at the way they treat the sexual encounters with women were a bit sexist.  It is so outrageous it is difficult not to take these comics’ view on women as a joke.  They are there to do nothing more then please the men involved, especially in the “Erroll Slim: Shoots an Arrow?”  I think it would have been better if the women were more then just a means to an end.  None the less these comics were entertaining.
