The artwork is superb and the story lines are comical, so goes the world of Art D’ecco and his friend Gump, the pyramid shaped, Jabba the Hut roommate. The fact that they are like Oscar and Felix adds to the humor. You really want to like Art. He always wears a white tux and has sharp lines, but he’s just a lying sack of crap. Gump is just a simpleton and most of the time is the ass of all that goes on. Throw in some other members of the art world, such as Kitsch or Art Nouveau, and we have the workings of bad art, forgive my pun. The only regret I have in this comic is that I had to see the mole-filled backside of Gump just before he jumped in the bath. It’s drawn sometimes too well. If you do pick this title up, read through it at a leisurely pace as to get the full effect of the art nuances. If you read it in one sitting, things tend to go unseen. If this comic was in color, it would be awesome—kind of like what color did for the Tick, so find a copy and get a new grip on modern art. (www.fantagrapics.com)
