Alces and Esel

Most people assume that a comic illustrated with cats, dogs, and kangaroos would be an adorable children's book with an enchanting tale. Do not let the (somewhat) adorable animals fool you. Alces & Esel is a comic featuring Alces, a crack addicted cat/dog type animal looking for world domination, and Esel, a (supposedly) gay kangaroo. Edition One features two stories entitled "Domestic Disturbance" and "The Superman." These stories provide insight into the odd lives of Alces and Esel as they encounter other eccentric characters. This comic is probably not a good idea to read if you happen to be a very sensitive person with no sense of humour. "Domestic Disturbance" introduces a foul mouthed Alces and an unsuspecting Esel as they encounter Officer Affe after he is called to attend to a domestic disturbance. The story details Officer Affe's unique style of policing as he attempts to clear up the situation at hand. The second story, "The Superman," introduces Anwon, a superintendent that is never seen without his seductive wrench. The story outlines Anwon's efforts to seduce Esel's vengeful sister, along with a few other strange moments.
