I got super excited when I saw Air Pirates on the list because I've always been a fan of the Mickey Mouse 'messed up' spin offs (that's not a bad thing, right?). I mainly like it because of the art style. It's very close to what the animators at Disney were doing at the same time. Because of this, at a quick glance its easy to mistake these comics for the real thing! It gives us a character(s) readers are already familiar with and throws them into scenarios and positions that would not be acceptable in the 'real world'. Most, if not all, of the skits are not for younger audiences or the easily offended.
This series of comics was one of many underground comics. It had always been thought that comics were more focus towards children or younger audiences. Underground comics provided adults and more mature audiences with content in the form of a comic book.
I also read a little bit of Fat Freddy's Cat. It just brought things closer in perspective. It's very similar to comics that exist in terms of layout, style, and dialogue. The only major thing that stands out with this one it the nudity and themes of the story. It's practically like watching a movie thats rated R. It's just not meant for younger audiences.
