macho peanut by Misaki Kawai
Misaki’s collages & drawing are both cute & weird at the same time. It’s the kind of cute & weird cartoon style that is seen through out a lot of Japanese culture. Well, Misaki is Japanese so that explains that…whatever…this little book is rad! Her characters are sort of South Park style collage dudes and her drawings are semi-retarded. I hold semi-retarded things in the highest regard, mind you. There’s a lady whose fart blasts her sky high, ripping a hole in her pants and gassing a little blue dude down below. The page before that has some little dude licking milk off the side of a giant tit-mountain, on the other side of the super boob is another little dude holding a cane with a shit-eating grin on his face. Pineapple heads, pipe smokers & other weirdness…funny, funny, funny. There’s a great page depicting a balloon headed fellow, bent over, having his spotty butt sprayed with perfume by a green character. There are too many cool pages to describe; you’ll just have to see for yourself.
