The eighty-first comic: #318 Mickey Mouse Meets the Air Pirate Funnies
Some comics are on this list not because they are the pinnacle, because they are the first or because they achieved something special - some are on here for their notoriety and influence outside their immediate reach. We've had several crude comics before, but they never used existing characters in the name of satire. The Air Pirate Funnies though went after Mickey Mouse and other Disney properties and stood out all the more because of it. It tried but, tied up in legal proceedings, got two issues out. The thing is, they're not that funny. The jokes are drawn out and crass humour doesn't really connect with me. It's a decent attempt at satire, but for that to work there needs to be more of a point to it - drawing Mickey and Minnie Mouse having sex doesn't really make one. It's notable, but not that worthwhile.
