Fun With Milk & Cheese - Evan Dorkin
I forget where I first heard about Milk & Cheese, but I never managed to find it anywhere, despite checking at comics shops when I remembered. I finally managed to get it from the library (which seems to have a growing selection of graphic novels). The premise is quite simple and punny: Dairy Products Gone Bad. Milk and Cheese are vicious, spiteful, and gratuitously violent, beating up anything and anybody that gets in their way. They fight a war on drugs—but only so they can watch "A Current Affair" instead of anti-drug commercials. They tear up the mall while playing "no-talent celebrity tag."
Some of it is pretty clever and witty; at other times, the joke gets a little stale. It's worth checking out if you like strange, weird comics, though be prepared to be offended. It is, after all, milk and cheese gone bad. (har, har)
