Perry Bible Fellowship Almanak and Megg and Mogg
Gurewitch brings a collection of strips that off hand reminded me a lot of the Cyanide and Happiness, with the same kind of strange and twisted, yet profoundly relatable 'pre-teen' like humor that all of us share to some extent. There's an upfront acknowledgment of the cynic inside all of us in such comics, a blunt realization of the masochist like decisions we make some times.
Megg and Mogg on the other hand felt like a more narrative based assessment of that same sentiment. An embodiment of the inner cynic as characters, there is an interesting constant conflict between the different inner psyches. I felt as though all the different characters- plagued by different things from substance to environment, were personifications of inner struggles that are faced unanimously through most of urbanized society and youth.
