Again, with my limited amount of comic experience, I didn't know quite what to expect with underground comix (<-- the "X" is important). After reading a few, and in class, I found them to be hilarious, in subject matter and tone. Seriously, they are just ridiculous as far as humor goes. There was one in class about a super hero, he is flying along, when all of a sudden he sees a pretty girl. Naturally his first reaction is to go make love to her. As he's flying, his [male organ] bursts through his pants. His reaction is something to the effect of "Oh darn, there goes my penis." It's not necessarily my taste in subject matter, but the situations are just so absurd, they are funny.
I can totally see why these would be appealing when they came out. They feel kind of rebellious and spontaneous. The art isn't that great, but they definitely have charm.
