Underwhelmed by Transmetropolitan

[Mr. Holmes]

He's saying the humor fails, so it's not a matter of taking it seriously.

For example, this is a quote from Spider, "Something's not right. I can feel it in my left testicle, the one with a piece of masonry nail in it."

Come on man, it reminds me of Seth McFarlane trying and failing miserably to be clever, funny and relevant like Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

Except that it's funny. The bowel disruptor gun was always good for a cheap laugh.

You might also want to read Lazarus Churchyard. It's like pre Transmet iirc.
