Well, here we are again. I'm trying this one writing piece per day thing until I get bored and go on hiatus until the next Olympics. You may ask why write these when most eyes are glazed over from TikTok shorts and are unwilling to do an honest day's reading? Welp, I suppose writing is a therapeutic business, so let's just take this as our lotus pose for now and get on with it. Battle Beast is a cool little space romp starring a pissed-off lion who is desperate to be killed so that he'll be a little less pissed off. This series kind of hits like Saitama from One-Punch Man, if he were a little furrier and more deliberate with his approach to finding a worthy match. Hang on a minute, though, we need a few sidekicks for this adventure to tick all the right boxes, and so our Battle Beast in question is joined by both a disgraced prince and an AI that is gifted with a robotic form.

Don't I Know You From Somewhere?
Cyanide and Happiness have been a common fixture in the life of the average
social media frequenter for years, and many may very well have cracked a smile
or three at these quirky comics without ever knowing their names. Well, if there
ever was a time to become better acquainted with these little dollops of joy,
then the time is now.
The three masterminds behind these crudely drawn delights,
invite readers to accompany them down memory lane in Cyanide and Happiness: Twenty Years Wasted(A Questionable Recollection of Two Decades). Kris Wilson,
Rob Denbleyker, and Dave McElfatrick stand as the prime culprits in the line-up
and fill these pages with old and new pieces, as well as photographs documenting
a remarkable journey from unassuming knuckleheads, to internet sensations.
Spoonful of Cyanide Makes the Medicine Go Down
Indeed, what readers can look forward to is not only the impressive collection
of some of their finest work, but also how these unmistakable and iconic
characters have found their way into art galleries, tattoo shops, and everywhere
in between. Yet, the pictures also speak to a remarkable bond between the three
creators, one strengthened through the common goal to bring joy to the world,
one amusingly offensive and violent comic at a time.
Said comics slap with
incredible hilarity, showcasing the punchy dark humor of its authors, and is
tied up nicely with a bow and presented in both hardcover and paperback form,
with narration by the Almighty himself as the cherry on top. Positioning itself
as both a strong work of art in its own right and a wonderful addition to the
coffee table, C&H is an invaluable collection of pick-me-ups that show the power
that little doodles can wield.
In times where one need not look far for the dark
and depressing, C&H positions itself as a welcome title to turn those frowns
upside down.
