The Comic Critic Review "Otto; Or, Up with Dead People"

It is only because I consider myself a true Zombie Film aficionado that I decided to watch it. I did not postpone seeing this movie because it involved gay zombie sex. I postponed watching this movie because I was worried that it might go a little further than some x-rated gay zombie sex. I was horrified when my fears were confirmed and this film went to a dark, grisly, unmentionable place beyond x-rated gay zombie sex. My eyes feel like they have been violated. That said, Otto; Or, Up with Dead People is a pretty good Zombie Movie. You know the filmmaker is doing something right when you start questioning your long held perceptions about flesh-eating zombies. It took me back to the early days of Zombie Films, when the audience questioned whether the zombie they were seeing on the screen was living, dead, or worse. But I do have to warn that both homophobes and homosexuals might find a few of the scenes more than just a little disturbing.

If white represents purity, what the hell does camouflage represent?

I wish I could still find the footage that was originally posted with the related news article, but all I can find is the article. The little otter was so damn cute, anyone would let out an involuntary "Awww!"

The Comic Critic Reviews "Happy Endings"

I’m a big fan of stories with multiple characters that are woven together as the plot develops. If this type of story has a distinctive name that I don’t know about, I would love it if some other film buff would enlighten me. Meanwhile, I will go with “Tapestry.” I’m also a big fan of drawing reviews with arrows pointing from one character to another. This one had so many characters that I thought it would be fun to feature just those I considered part of the secondary plot lines. And I know I’m going to get some folks arguing that these are not secondary characters, that they are all part of the whole complex structure of the story. They might be right. But doing it sure made drawing this comic a lot easier.
