Week 6: Underground Comic's



I think it is safe to say I don’t mesh well with underground comics. I read one of each title given on the web share, and, I don’t think I really understood any of them. The topics and stories didn’t interest me, and I feel it might be because I couldn’t relate to them. The lives of the people in the comic’s are a life style I am not familiar with.
However I will talk about one comic I did somewhat enjoy, and that was Zippy. A lot of the topics in these underground topics are adult and sexual, and of course so was Zippy, but to some extent I was able to over look it. I was actually kind of surprised that I made it all the way through Zippy without feeling like I wanted to stop reading. Upon further reflection I realized the pacing of the story helped a great deal with that. Since topic’s changed so quickly, for example from being at Disney world to falling through a roof into some woman’s kitchen, it helped me not dwell on topics that I didn’t really enjoy. Mostly I was just wondering what was going to happen next because his obstacles changed so drastically, it was really bizarre.
As a whole I have to say that I don’t think I would enjoy reading Underground Comic’s again. There is nothing particularly wrong with them I just don’t enjoy the subject matter.
