AMERICANJISM #2
By Joe Denny, $10.00 U.S.

This Joe Denny is one sick bastard. Here’s the problem: no matter how well this comic is drawn, I can’t get over the abuse of humor. I’m not really a churchgoing man, but the main character is a minister who believes, “If it moves, fuck it.” For that matter, everyone in this comic is having sex with multiple partners. How this family is together makes perfect sense: they all have the same morals. The boy is an idiot who masturbates. That is, when he’s not doing his sister. The daughter is doing everybody and throwing fetuses in trash dumpsters faster than Randy Johnson can get the pitch in the catcher’s glove. To say this family is dysfunctional is mild. This comic may be funny to some guy in metro state hospital, who can’t use his arms to turn the pages, but otherwise this doesn’t even count as potty humor. In a time of religious strife, for a comic to come to press with the shit that is contained in this book is nothing short of amazing. When you have your main character planning to topple God, you’re really stepping on quite a few feet. I really don’t know who would pay ten dollars, let alone one dollar, for this crap. There is no real story here, and the repetition of family members having sex with each other is absolutely grueling on my eyes. Sure, there’s freedom of the press, but come on; these are ideas that are just criminal. I must say that if the idea of America is this book, this author needs to move.
