From the bowels of a trio of (ex?)Fox television cartoonists comes this new comic superhero whose most powerful weapon is his ass. Seriously. Captain Dingleberry is a series founded on the premise that extreme bad taste makes for good entertainment (as Kevin Smith says, the money's in the dick and fart jokes), which can be true, but there are points in this comic where I was ready to close it up and put it away (this coming from a guy who has actually seen Jon Water's Pink Flamingos). But once you get past the first nine pages of pushing to the extreme, Captain Dingleberry becomes an interesting and entertaining read.
The first two issues of Captain Dingleberry don't really have a lot to do with the title character (whose super powers involve flying, a bad attitude, and an anus which acts as a portal between Earth and Shitworld), nor do they really have much to do with his super-compadres the Fecal Four (four little super-powered turds hailing from Shitworld dubbed Boil, Super Turd, Crazy Eight, and Runny). Moreover, the first two issues follow the first "villain" the quintet of crap encounter, a moody and tempermental comic book artist by the name of The Sensitive Artist, after he is sucked up Dingleberry's ass into Shitworld. There he is held hostage in the Yeast of Eden Salon and Bakery by "bread lover" Sir Richard, until he and "the fallen dingleberry" Curly escape.
Issue 2 ends with Curly and The Sensitive Artist encountering the robotic Poop Patrol during their getaway. Meanwhile, the Fecal Four argue over the details of a recent mission when the Captain had an unusual encounter with a spork weilding fast food restaurant mascot.
Certainly one of the strangest read I've had to date, Captain Dingleberry is enjoyable and entertaining if you can get past the coprophogy, the " gratuitous bread boff", and the fact that lead characters are made of crap. The art is top notch and the painted covers by Eric Simmons are marvy in that Batman Animated sort of way. Not for the young reader... or the mature reader....
