The 40 Years of Comics Project - Day 1553: Army Surplus Komikz feat. Cutey Bunny #3, 1984
I think one of the things that stands out for me about this comic is that the stories are very organic. In some ways, it feels like the adventures of Cutey Bunny and her friends that we're reading are tales happening between their regular adventures. Often we'll meet up with Kelly when she's visiting the offices of the comic book she stars in and then something crazy will happen, sidetracking us from finding out what her regularly-scheduled adventure would have been. There's something of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern here, in that we're following characters in the interstices of "official" adventures. We have to presume that, in the fictional universe, Kelly's comic book adventures are quite different from the ones that we're witnessing.
Today the team goes international, combatting lake monsters in Scotland. Oh, and the space gophers continue to try to make their way to Dirty Zelda's, a bar that sounds like the best place in the galaxy.
One other note: I didn't skip an issue. #2 got reviewed a couple of years ago.
"By Jove Kelly,...must you be so vivacious..!"
