Our reporter colleague Donald is a designer. A properly trained one, in fact. Alongside his freelance design work, for which he has recently been responsible for the stylish look of the Rock 'n Rodeo board game, Donald enjoys painting comics. And since Donald calls himself a punk designer, it’s only natural that his characters inhabit this very milieu. Until now, there were only short strips available on the Punks 'n' Banters website. But now a publisher has emerged, The Next Art, that will print the story of Bastard, Stoiber, and Jack on paper.

So here I have a small booklet of nearly 40 pages, which I, just because Donald is a solid member of RamTatTa, definitely do not want to review favorably. And so it must be said right away: This thing is total crap! So crap that it stops right in the middle. The fact that the title mentions a "Part 1" indeed raises the suspicion that more is planned. And that’s great. Because I don’t like stories that, just as they are getting going, end very abruptly. So let’s quickly get to Part 2, my lifetime is not unlimited.

In pretty colorful pictures, it tells how the protagonist Bastard makes his way to his ex, because... Yes, why actually? This is initially not of great importance, as one focuses much more on the vibrant world that Donald seems to have made it his mission to leave no cliché unturned. Chaos, alcohol, and punk music are constant companions, and one wonders what prejudices are still going to be mashed up in the next parts?

So what is the conclusion? I like the drawing style, especially the centerfold has captivated me with its previously unseen richness of detail. The story is so full of clichés that it’s actually quite good again. Anyone who has at least once sniffed around in the punk scene or at least knows someone who dyed their hair purple in the past should invest the 4 euros in Punkrock Lovedrug Part 1. And for those still undecided, they should first check out the Punks 'n' Banters online to be convinced.
