Rating: Carl. A cat with a well-established business of handcrafted peanut butter sandwiches. His mission is to prepare them for the … crowd? (mob). Business keeps him busy for a long time and distracts him from taking care of his girlfriend.
Yuki. His girlfriend, indeed. Asian, bisexual, nymphomaniac, … what else? Boh. She constantly demands her partner's attention and does so with pearls of delightful naughtiness. You get an idea by glancing at one of the panels uploaded to the author's website. I did a brief search; watermelon lollipops exist, and Bob Ross was a painter, "was" because he left us.
Eskimos. The bad guys. An organization that wants to own the secret of Carl's sandwiches and get their hands on the entire peanut butter sandwich market.
As explained by the author in a video I posted a few days ago that nobody paid attention to, the project initially consisted of a single 24-page story centered on Carl's revenge against the Eskimos, who, to eliminate the competition, destroyed the place where he lived and ran his business. Loads of ‘beautiful violence’ and surrealism, with some mildly obscene scenes. Following this publication, I believe more material on Carl and Yuki came out, certainly a 9-page story titled “space is the place,” highly recommended.
Jim Mahfood.
Designer and (I believe) writer of his stories. Wikipedia notes that he was heavily influenced by graffiti art, hip hop culture, and music: indie rock, funk, jazz, and whatever in particular. The first thing I feel like saying is that J.M. draws women really well. The second is that in my taste, he is one of the most interesting designers among the latest generation. I stumbled upon him one day when I was aimlessly wandering the web among the pages of Heavy Metal. One of his pages captured my attention because, at first glance, his style vaguely reminded me of Jamie Hewlett, another one I like a lot. That's not true. I stopped because there was Yuki all focused on providing pleasure to another equally uninhibited girl. From my point of view, J.M. falls into a category of artists with a peculiar characteristic … I'll try to explain this, but it's not easy…, those who have a seemingly awkward style at first glance, and a moment later you recognize it's all intentional, you see the confidence in the stroke, you understand their style. Ink applied first with toothbrush strokes and then refined with more conventional means. Surreal with a strange taste. In short, a nice discovery. Ciao, guy.
