Okay: This won't take long.

Because the comic up for discussion today lives or dies by its premise. You dig the premise, or you resolutely do not, and I'm not likely to sway anyone from either position.

Don't believe me?

The Premise: Undead bunnies do beastly, unspeakable things for fun and profit. (Mostly fun.)

Still with me? Huh. Okay, here's The Plot:

* Two cute fluffy bunnies get vomited upon by a demon;

* Acidic demon vomit, natch, strips their flesh;

* Satan recruits them to go and do horrid things to the pure and innocent creatures of the world;

* Which they do, until they chafe under his infernal yoke, and then;

* They take their doing-horrid-things business freelance.

Did I mention they have a flying zombie steed named Pretty Pretty Pony Macabre? Because they have a flying zombie steed named Pretty Pretty Pony Macabre.

The final set of facts if you're still undecided, after the jump ...

Still on the fence? Here's all you need to know about Tommy Kovac's Skelebunnies.

1. It's funny.
2. It's endlessly quotable:

"Elves are allergic to pants!"
"Mommy, my teeth feel scummy."
"She is like a getaway pony."
"Wanna gyre and gimble in my wabe?" (Yes, that's a Jabberwocky joke.)
"I cannot hold your baby because it is not polite to play with your food."

3. It's tasteless, puerile, and beneath contempt.

Can't really link to a sample page, because just about every page, every panel, is NSFW. N remotely SFW.

You know that hackneyed phrase that newspaper feature editors bust out whenever they find themselves faced with an article about funnybooks?

"Comics aren't just for kids anymore!" You know that phrase?

Damn skippy.
