"Exits are at the front and the back of the book, anyone wishing to leave must do so now -- all others should call their mommies immediately, because the hysterically psychotic fun house ride is about to begin!" exclaims the author, Dan Fogler. This warning would be more appropriate if it stopped at "must do so now" as a last ditch attempt to deter any hopeful audience members.
The premise is an anthology of short comic stories tied together by a 'TV host' style appearance by a flatulent man on the moon. The art was really fun and exciting, but the stories were gross. I liked how the entire graphic novel had a 'camp' vibe but I didn't feel like I got much from this or that there were any stories I would be thinking about on the bus ride home a couple of months from now.
I won't lie, despite all of this I will probably read Vol. 2 when it comes to fruition out of curiosity for what Fogler et. al. cook up next.
Thank you NetGalley, the publisher, and author for this advanced reading copy in exchange for my honest opinions. I respect your hard work and commitment to the reading community.

Dan Fogler did not exaggerate when he wrote that this might be the craziest stuff I have read all year. This collection of GN stories about Moon Lake is so NSFW, it should come in a brown paper bag with warning stickers.
Yes, I enjoyed reading it, though I had expected to see less mating and more gore.
