[Liaken]

Robert Kirby, while giving good insight, satire, and humor, still tries to go for mild shock value that is often in poor taste (ex. if he makes one more generalization about how men just want to look at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, I think I'll have to punch him). However, that said, sometimes he reveals the underside of a very constricted culture so precisely that it's almost inspiring.

Pat Bagley's comic art of Mormon culture is sometimes so painfully accurate that I can't stop laughing. At other times it falls flat (whose doesn't?). Bagley and Kirby make a great team.
