Title: Hermann Shepherd in "Gitmo Goofs"
Date: 2007
Publisher: High Treason Comix
Creators: Ian Harker, Randy Sinsel, John Carr, Ron Hoffman
Minicomic political comedy about the working lives of (anthropomorphic) prison camp guard dogs. Lots of racial slurs are thrown in, apparently for shock value, with a weak punchline at the end involving Transformers, NASCAR, TIVO, and C-Span.
This is followed by one of those anti-political-correctness "kids these days" essays. The essay is also meant as a tribute to comedian Bill Hicks, who was an influence on the music here. I'm not familiar with Hicks' work, which might be one reason this didn't do much for me, but it wasn't effective in getting me interested in finding out more about him either.
Rating 2.5/10
