Henry & Glenn Forever & Ever #2

Henry & Glenn Forever & Ever, Issue #2 is in three parts with three distinct art styles, like before.  In the first story, Glenn's mother has come to visit.  She's part hippie, part Jesus freak, and part annoying, older mother.  The second story is Glenn visualizing his chores being three monstrous tasks.  The third story is a look at Henry and Glenn in different years: 1982, 1986, 1996, 2013, and 2038.  Finally, there's a gallery lasting a couple of pages and a full-page comic on the back cover.

I did like Issue #1 a bit better because the idea of Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig being a gay couple was still a little fresh, but Issue #2 is roughly of the same quality.  It's funny most of the time, although some of the jokes and situations are so obscure that by the time the joke hit me, the timing was off.  Perhaps this speaks more to my abilities as a reader, having just woken up from a nap, than the difficulty of the comic.  Still, for $5, it's a great buy, and I'll definitely look for more of them.
