Best Buy Comics #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA collected edition of the 1988 series from Last Gasp, Best Buy Comics is a satirical underground comic that skewers consumer culture and corporate retail through absurd, often surreal vignettes. The volume brings together the full run of the original issues, showcasing the series' biting humor and countercultural commentary typical of the publisher's late-80s output.
In "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television," R. Crumb delivers a sharp, surreal satire as the U.S. President, pushed to his limits, contemplates an extreme measure to restore order. With Crumb’s signature raw line work and biting wit on full display, the story unfolds in a world where media saturation has reached a breaking point—though just how the President plans to act remains a mystery. The cover, a collaborative effort by R. Crumb and Aline Kominsky-Crumb, captures the era’s anxieties in bold, uneasy strokes.
In "The Final Solution," the U.S. President, pushed to his limits, opts for an unexpectedly drastic measure to salvage his image—though just what that entails remains delightfully, hilariously unclear. A sharp satire from 1988, this one-page gem skewers political absurdity with a wink and a smirk.
