Meet writer and illustrator Angel Onofre. He’s the new blood
at CheeseLord Comics, an indie press known for severe depravity and hopeless
despair. How does Onofre measure up?
Well, in this book there isn’t a lot of hopeless despair,
but there is a certain kind of depravity. It’s not the same brand, but it’s
definitely fucked up. The protagonist is Angel, who one day decides, out of the
blue, that he wants to create a webcomic, but he doesn’t know how to figure out
HTML. On the advice of a crackhead, he goes to a drug dealer who knows someone
with great HTML skills, but first Angel must do something for him: deliver a
letter.
If you know anything about CheeseLord Comics, you know that
letter isn’t very innocuous. It leads Angel down a road of aliens, space drugs,
poop and death.
It’s very strange, because unlike other CheeseLord books,
the humor here is actually light hearted. It’s fun, and it helps that the style
is so cartoonish. Everything is so exaggerated and over the top, it makes one
feel like this could have happened in the world of Ren and Stimpy. Even scenes
involving lots of violent death come off as hilarious.
And you will never guess where the story is going. You’ll be
pleasantly surprised, and when you read the description of the next issue,
you’ll laugh your ass off. Buy this book and find out what happens when you
take space drugs, and why it’s never good to snort something that fell from the
sky.
