    The fundamental ground for the current series of Monkey Meat isnt really all that different from quite a lot of other bits of satire that have found their way onto the comics rack over the yeas. What DOES make this particular series so much fun is Bas distinctive sense of hu,or which is staggeringly engaging on a whole bunch of different levels. Ba frames comedic elements with such an irreverent sense of inventiveness. Its really amazing stuff that wouldnt quite work in any other format. Its a good thing theres a comic book industry. Othewise Ba would just be a weird person with a weird hobby. Read Full Review
