Punchline #11
In "Cop Kitchen," the Bubba Picasso storyline kicks off with a surreal twist: the artist, painting Elvis Presley on a paint-by-number set in a garret, finds himself caught between high art and fast food. The story unfolds with a wry nod to real-world events—like the opening of the first Burger King in Paris—before ending on a curious note at a drive-thru with a view of the Eiffel Tower. Written and illustrated entirely by Max Hopper, this offbeat comic blends absurdity and pop culture with a distinct, self-contained voice, all framed by J. Goldberg’s striking cover.
