Assholes
by Micah Stahl
I wanted to like this book so much, but I honestly just can't.
My first thought is this book is very Trumpian, in the sense that its humor is so thoroughly based around what is defined as "Locker Room Talk," and at its core, this book is trying to cause a stir. Reading this was like a bad flashback to when Trump was still on Twitter, and we would dread the next thing to pop up.
Given that we start with the low bar of these men talking (while through innuendos) about propositioning the girl's mother about sex, as well as having read many other works published by Europe Comics, that left me disgusted. I am honestly concerned about what was depicted in Hole 9 to make Europe Comics say, "With regard to both imagery and subject matter, the outlandish events that unfold herein simply could not be reconciled with the values and moral standards that we affirm as a literary institution." These left me so flabbergasted that I had to see if I could figure out what this content initially was, but sadly could not. Though in reading interviews with the Authors, I was only more confident that this works for the sole purpose of being provocative.
Overall lacked real humor, and while the art is gorgeous, I can't recommend it.
