Ever read something that feels like a fever dream? That’s 'Cock & Bull' for me. At its core, it’s a twisted fable about two factions—the Cocks, who thrive on cunning and theatrics, and the Bulls, who rely on brute force. Their war turns the city into a playground for grotesque showdowns, like a rooster in a tailored suit facing off against a bull with a chainsaw. The dialogue crackles with insults and philosophical musings, like a Shakespearean tragedy meets 'Mad Max'.
I adore how the comic plays with expectations. Just when you think it’s all mindless brawling, it drops a poignant moment—like a Bull grunt questioning his purpose mid-battle. The creator’s background in punk zines shines through; every panel feels raw and unapologetic. It’s less about the plot and more about the vibe—a love letter to anarchic storytelling.
I stumbled upon 'Cock & Bull' during a deep dive into indie comics, and it left quite an impression! The story revolves around two rival gangs in a gritty, surreal city—one led by a rooster-themed mastermind and the other by a bull-headed brute. Their feud escalates into absurdly violent yet darklycomedic clashes, blending noir tropes with animalistic symbolism. The art style is chaotic, with jagged lines and splashes of neon, mirroring the frenetic energy of the plot.
What really hooked me was the underlying satire about toxic masculinity and blind rivalry. The characters are so obsessed with one-upping each other that they barely notice the world crumbling around them. Side plots involve a detective pigeon (yes, really) trying to make sense of the chaos, adding a layer of absurd detective noir. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you enjoy over-the-top violence with a side of social commentary, this one’s a wild ride.
'Cock & Bull' is this bizarre, hyper-stylized comic where the plot almost takes a backseat to the spectacle. Imagine a world where animal-human hybrids duke it out in alleyways, fueled by pride and grudges. The Cocks are all about flair—their leader wears a feathered cape and monologues about destiny. The Bulls? Pure destruction, charging through walls like, well, bulls. The story meanders through bar fights, betrayals, and surreal detours (one chapter is just a cooking competition gone wrong).
What sticks with me is the art—ink splatters everywhere, like the pages are bleeding. It’s messy, loud, and oddly beautiful. The ending doesn’t resolve much, but that’s the point: the cycle of rivalry never ends. If you dig experimental comics, this one’s a gem.

Cock & Bull' is this wild, surreal ride of a novel by Will Self, and the main characters are just as bizarre as the plot. The first protagonist is a guy named John Bull, who wakes up one day to find he's growing a horn—like, an actual horn—right out of his forehead. It's weirdly symbolic, right? Like, masculinity and aggression morphing into something grotesque. Then there's his wife, Jane, who's dealing with her own surreal transformation, but I won't spoil that twist. The way Self writes them, they feel like caricatures of modern life, exaggerated but painfully relatable.
The other half of the story follows a washed-up TV producer named Phil, who's obsessed with this idea of 'authentic' reality while his own life spirals into absurdity. The way these narratives eventually collide is pure chaos, but in the best way. Self’s prose is so sharp and viciously funny that even when the plot goes off the rails, you can’t look away. It’s like watching a train wreck where every passenger is a dysfunctional metaphor.
