Mostly one page comics about bears (the gay kind, not the animal kind), wrasslin' and metal. Amusing enough.

I wish I had read the character dossier first since the comic was new to me. I love Eiffel's completely horizontal five o'clock shadow, as well as the concept of Dorissey, though I was disappointed she wasn't a major player in the comics. The comic is such an interesting mixture of indie rock references (Kim Deal tribute), a sort of manga style, animal advocacy, and the gay dating scene; it makes the Castro seem way more magical than it is these days. It's so odd to see very obscure, specific Project Runway jokes, that I feel like I'm one of like 1,000 people that would get, embedded in a world that is so foreign to me (ditto the Emilio Pucci tattoos!). I'd read a Muff 'n' Top Grrrlz comic spinoff for sure. The short comic about Oaf's snacks and teeth was my favorite one.

SO GOOD. This was funny and heart warming and badass- and it had lots of violence and gay sex and awesome references.

The art work was well done and I love the style, the renditions of 80s metal ladies particularly. Oaf is such a cute amazing sweet character and I have a crush on him.

I loved this book more than I ever thought possible, as a femme who doesn't care for metal. Share this with the bear in your life, or whoever!

A bit disappointing to be honest. There wasn't much to read in this book, really. Apart from the first few pages, the rest is a collection of illustrations rather than comic books, like extras for some kind of deluxe edition.
