Living In Greytown

By: JenniferJ

      Greytown, Somewhere, USA is one of the most twisted, perverse, pornographic places on the planet. Full of bestiality, racism, and prolific sexual innuendo, Greytown is fun. This Internet comic strip will be a favorite for those who like South Park type comedy, because it goes where South Park wish it could go.

      The residents of Greytown are eternally bound to it. Like a Roach Motel, once you are in, you never can get out. Trapped by the Devil's bungling brother-in-law Phil, residents give Phil very little to do as they somehow find their own means of making their lives pure hell.

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.
