--2.5 stars rounded down--
I read this as part of my attempt to get a general overview of modern comics history and it was alright, I guess.
Very light stuff, obviously, which made it nice to flick through when I had 10 minutes to kill but didn't feel like reading anything heavier. I'm not sure if satire is really the right word because, as a satire of 80s/90s America and its contrast to the idealised version of that seen in Archie comics and the like, it only really works on one level. Still, I'm sure it was probably really funny at the time, as a lot of people seem to have fond memories of this title. Personally, I just found it gave me the odd chuckle but there's nothing wrong with that.
I read the first 9 issues before deciding I'd had my fill but I'll just leave the same review for the three volumes they're contained in.

Books 7-9 closed out the 1980's making fun of:
-Comic Conventions
-Star Wars with Star Trek cameo
-Gilligan's Island
-Wizard of Oz with Wheel of Fortune and Sergio Leone
-The ghost story about a phantom hitchhiker
-Mad Max with Exxon Valdez
with plenty of Welz making fun of himself in-panel
Welz wrote a two page introduction about how hard he tries to be censored and how little it actually happens but it's only mildly interesting- it can be summed up as an apology that explains how hard he's trying to get his opponents upset.
PLUS Vaughn Bode takes over for a few pages at the end- "Zara Tung" and Cherry beat up on both of their creators for all to see especially because all four are nude!
I LOVE ELLIE DEE and Cherry's mom:
Ellie got the starring role in the longest story as Dorothy in a BizzarOz that didn't have or need constant sex to be funny and interesting which seemed to worry Welz because he inserted one or two page sex scenes that had nothing to do with the plot two or three times.
-Miss Lengthy Erection Distender was also well distributed throughout the entire book but Cherry's mom only got a limp three pages!
