DESCRIPTION

PACIFY is a bold and bizarre graphic novel (in three parts), an absurdist satire of these complicated times we live in, taking dead aim on American sociopolitical and pop cultures with a biting wit and acidic art style. The story centers on Vincent Tsondo (A.K.A. Sarcophaga), a Hollywood superstar with an insectoid head whose bizarre appearance has led to fame as a model and actor. Vincent is the result of a failed genetic-modification experiment by his "father", Tobacco/News/Oil/Fast Food/Entertainment/Condiment mogul Hans Tsondo the Mustard King. PACIFY follows Vincent as he confronts his "father" and, in a shaky alliance with the angry-over-her-own-obsolescence PrimaBaglady, attempts to settle the score for his mother's murder...and more. Add in the superstar product endorsement team "The Bagladies", the musings from beyond the grave of Vincent's mother Raphaela, a plot to phase out women, science gone wild, top-fuel dragsters, hermaphrodites, artificial intelligence, learjets, fast food and everything else, and you have the recipe for hilarious disaster and over-the-top commentary on modern culture that is PACIFY.
