review:
'Bacon is a Vegetable, Coffee is a Vitamin' is a collection of Diesel Sweeties cartoons about coffee, bacon, vegetables and hot dogs. Diesel Sweeties is an online comic by R. Stevens. The style is a sort of retro pixel looking comic strip. The characters feature humans and robots.
The jokes include vegetarians struggling with the urge to eat bacon, the dependence on coffee to do just about anything, and the relationships we have involving our various food manias. Cats and appliances are somewhat anthropomorphized. They don't do much besides make their normal noises, but seem to be part of conversations. Favorites include a cartoon with all the names for coffee, and a series featuring a battle between the toaster and coffee maker.
The series has been running since 2000. The bacon craze seems to have died down a bit, so some of these feel a little dated, but coffee is still a social drug of choice. It's a fun collection if you aren't expecting much.
I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
