Blackout

It's a series of very short comic gags, almost all of which are about sex or violence. Some are about sex and violence, and one or two are about neither, but that's ok. They are all beautifully composed jokes in a blackout sequence, and although one didn't make me laugh, all of the others did. That makes it a 95% or so rate, which is pretty good.

Plympton had a very black sense of humor in his cartoons, and although there isn't much overt sexuality -- although there are stirrings of romance, of course -- this makes it clear that he takes a rather dark view of the two-backed beast.
