Milk and Cheese

As weird as it is, I enjoyed Milk and Cheese. The comic provides fast paced, easy to digest physical humor, coupled with frequent bad puns.

The premise of the comic is focused on an unlikely duo; two dairy products, milk and cheese, that have “gone bad” and are terrorizing the world with their ill tempers and disdain for everything.

I love that even the basis for this comic (dairy gone bad) is a pun in and of itself. This serves to prepare its viewer for the weird, hilarious escapes that the two will undertake.

Within the comic, milk and cheese go to various locals and carry out everyday tasks. What is amusing is the manner in which these two go about everything they do. Every action the pair engages in is filled with as little class, and as much malice as possible.

The only visual element that makes them anthropomorphizing are surprisingly serious faces and small hard to notice limbs. What had me laughing while reading this comic was the amount of destruction that these most unmeaning characters committed, and the way the two were drawn. I suppose I just found the level of contrast in the comic hilarious; one would never expect such hatred from milk and cheese.
