Carl, the Cat that Makes Peanut Butter Sandwiches #[nn]

From Nerdcore's 2009 one-shot comes this wonderfully absurd slice of indie comics energy: Carl, the Cat That Makes Peanut Butter Sandwiches, with art, inking, and lettering all by Jim Mahfood and colors by Justin Stewart. The cover plunges you straight into the madness — a sword-wielding anthropomorphic cat in a trench coat squares off against a pink-haired woman in heart-print underwear, while a menacing figure looms in the flame-lit background and, yes, an actual peanut butter sandwich appears to be at the center of the chaos. It's pulpy, kinetic, and bracingly weird in exactly the way that makes small-press comics so much fun to discover.
