First Comic: Airships of Atlantis Discover- MU: The land that never was
So this comic was pretty swell. A pretty "tame" comic in comparison to the other ones that were around at the time. The storyline was actually pretty cool, and I did enjoy the whole 'twist' of Mu just being the Moon, or something along those lines. Very Peter Pan vibes that it gives me, and was just an enjoyable read.
Second Comic: Mystic Funnies ~ Crumb (Mr. Hipman and Super Duck)
Mr. Hipman just sort of looks like Crumb's other comics, with the really big lady just looking like a lot of his other characters that are girls; The story of it is pretty basic, kind of boring, but I did enjoy the art of the woman when she was around. It was also funny with the commentary making fun of Mr. Hipman and his ego and him being called on his bullshit. The end was pretty swell too.
Super Duck feels more like Crumb's general comics; overtly rude and sexual, with a 'just being gross to be gross' feeling. The interesting commentary of spending money on hokey pills to improve his sex life was pretty funny, though. As well as the "christian household" joke. The art didn't feel a lot like Crumb's other stuff, which was kind of refreshing. Overall, a lot shorter than his other stuff, pretty alright.
