M@B – Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition
No, praise the lord and send me every M@B in print. I’d refer to specific panels in this comic, but I had to lend my copies to friends the minute I finished re-reading both the “praise the lord” issue and another that came our way, the “did you see my potato” issue. With this wry, laconic, subtle and hilarious comic, Matt B nails the mid-20s, pre-millennial, spiritual dustbin vortex without an ounce of lass-ass whining. More importantly, he made me laugh out loud the way only humour that spikes a nerve of truth can. Even the classic lines of the illustration hit the perfect pressure point that makes understatement the art of saying it all. And if you want to know what perfect comic timing looks like in print, look no further. (HC)
