This helping of Weissman's ghoulish webcomic Peanuts parody YIKES! focuses on Pullapart Boy (a pint-size Frankenstein monster) and mean, fat "Sweet" Chubby Cheeks. Pullapart's zombie brother tags along with the ambivalent pals (Chubby often prays that God will help him "vanquish my enemy" llapart), and two new cast members are also involved: 40-year-old Lumpy Noodle and Pullapart's "new best friend," Crustache, who's got "this moustache of dried blood and crud." Less sickening than you might think, this is so droll it sends up itself as well as kid comics. The title, incidentally, references Chubby's dad, escaped from prison at the end of the concluding, long black-and-white story, unfortunately for Pullapart.

Steven Weissman, modern master of light tragedy, is at his most horrible with Chocolate Cheeks , the next great "Yikes" book from Fantagraphics. Juxtaposing gag-driven, newspaper-fashioned strips with a sprawling, Western comic aesthetic, the book is just gross enough to delight the children.
