PUKE FORCE HC

Puke Force is social satire written dark and dense - across Brian Chippendale's deconstructed multiverse - of walking, talking M&Ms, hamsters, and - cycloptic-yet-glamorous trivia hosts. In scathingly - funny single-page strips that build and build, he - takes on social media narcissism, governmental - propaganda, racism, the hypocrisies of the left, and - a culture of violence. - A bomb explodes in a coffee shop: the incident - is played out over and over again from the - perspective of each table in the shop, revisiting moments from ten and twenty years - before. We see the inevitable as the characters bicker or celebrate, unaware of what awaits - them. Throughout this dystopic graphic novel, Chippendale uses humor and a frantic drawing - style to show how the insidious nature of corporate greed and the commodification of everything - have warped society into a killing machine. - Sardonic and self-aware, Puke Force asks all the right questions, providing a startling and - on-point take on contemporary social issues. Chippendale's artwork makes each panel a - masterpiece of thrumming linework and lo-fi magic, as his storytelling wends and winds its - way to a fascinating conclusion.
