Episode 07 - We all Scream because of the Ice Cream Man (Issue #25 Blind Read)
Welcome to Horror Month! I am so excited to share this unhinged episode with you, where we talk about Issue #25 of Ice Cream man. Please see Trigger/Content Warnings at the bottom. Seriously, this series deals with absurdism and touches on some really dark stuff.
In this episode I discuss some heavy topics. Also apparently I do not know what mascara is.
Ice Cream Man is one of my favorite comics of all time. I chose to pick a completely blind issue to me to really get the full effect of the horror of this one. This would not be a horror episode without Content Warnings listed at the bottom
Ice Cream Man was written by W. Maxwell Prince with Art by Chris O'Halloran and Martin Morazzo & Good Ol' Neon.
Next Week! Exquisite Corpses Vol 1 by James Tynion IV, Pornsak Pichetshote, Michael Walsh, Marianna Ignazzi, Valentine De Landro and Jordie Bellarie.
Note 1 - Some really heavy shit is discussed in this episode, from an absurdist standpoint. Please proceed with caution.
Other Note there's a section of this book written in Spanish. I did my best to translate it, but please let me know if I made huge mistakes or completely misinterpreted the meaning.
Suicide, Immigration Issues, Pregnancy, Drug Use, Anxiety, Airplane Crash, Heart Attack, Death, absurdity around mortality.
