The Review
Living in Greytown will fulfill your sordid comedy desires and inspire those you did not know you had. My only problems with the series are the choppy incoherent story lines that take away from the characters and the overall quality of the strip.
The general ideas of the stories are innovative. It is just that the execution is not strong. Stories abruptly end and new ones start with new characters so quickly that I often found myself lost and confused. For instance the relationship between Karri and Joe happened so abruptly I thought perhaps I skipped a couple of days. One minute Joe is obsessed with the F**king F**kers (I love that name), the next he is in love and on his way down the aisle. Basically, the stories are not bad; it is just the lack of cohesion that hampers them.
But these problems are nothing that cannot be fixed by an editor, not a censor, just someone to lead the author along to create a more cohesive strip. Overall Living in Greytown is one of the most intelligent, funny, nasty, NAUGHTY comics I have read. I usually hate reading comics on the Internet, but I found myself addicted, and I have read the entire series, which began in January 2000. If you are looking for an alternative to the censored media then you might consider Living in Greytown.
