review 1: Not as good as later issues of the series or the Cartoon Cabaret, but still pretty funny. Pointless anecdote: I met Kupperman at MOCA and he signed issue #8 and drew two trains having sex and told me I would understand when I read it (spoiler: the issue has a part where two trains have sex). Jason was signing next to him and had a way, way longer line which made me think that he must just be that much more popular. Turns out it was because he spent 20 minutes on a sketch he was doing for someone. When I finally met him he was nice, but his English wasn't so good and I had to spell my name for him very slowly and carefully.
review 2: I really enjoyed these silly stories. It's old fashioned laughs - Mad Magazine via Monty Python and 1980s-style indy satire of... more a Fantagraphics/Raw Comics variety. It's great fun, but all in a bunch like this it gets a little relentlessly random. It's also hard to find any bite here - it's good-natured chuckling media and that take themselves too seriously - broadwat shows, old fashioned comics, cop shows etc. However, it's beautifully crafted and frequently brilliantly funny and highly recommended. less
