Village Voice\u003cbr\u003ePuke Force is social satire written dark and dense across Brian Chippendale's deconstructed multiverse of walking, talking M\u0026amp;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.\u003cbr\u003eA 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's coming. 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.\u003cbr\u003eSardonic 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eImage and Condition Note -\u003c\/b\u003e We typically have multiple copies of the titles we sell.
