This issue picks right up from the cliffhanger previously, with Waltar being abducted by aliens while his brother and the King try to “save” him, something that degenerates into a mostly bickering phone call. I enjoyed the meddling aliens hiding in the background shadows and giving the term “one-eyed monster” dual meaning. The alien jailhouse is hilarious and the issue certainly pays off everything that was set up in the first. What I think I dig the most about the subversive nature of Prizon Food is that there’s actually a plot, not just set-ups for gags that are endlessly strung together. Additionally, this guy “Sandman” is one of my favorite new mini-comics characters in a looong time. You can’t help but appreciate the incredibly strong singular vision of Prizon Food. Grade A+.
