Books like Safari Honeymoon

Looking for the ultimate honeymoon experience, a newly married couple hire a guide to take them to a truly exotic location, one teeming with strange life forms and best described as an unimaginably alien version of a jungle. While the reader immediately realizes that the unfathomable flora and fauna is much more than what our couple bargained for, the blissfully ignorant honeymooners themselves continue to display a sense of entitlement that appears increasingly ludicrous in the context. To them, all those indigenous life forms that almost devour the very pages they are drawn on merely fall into one of the following two categories: cute but disposable pets, or prey to be shot and transformed into trophies. Needless to say, our honeymooners do not stand a chance...Having indulged in some rather infantile Tarzan nostalgia over the last few weeks, I am afraid I was overdue for a wake-up call. Jesse Jacobs' meticulously designed, Heart of Darkness-inspired deconstruction of neocolonialism certainly did the job, but it did much more than that. I highly recommend Safari Honeymoon to anybody interested in surrealist comic books, and especially to those with a soft spot for the similarly trippy, absurdist, obsessive comics by Michael DeForge!
