In the realm of comics, where narratives sprawl across panels and characters embark on epic adventures, there exists a maverick—a maestro of a different sort. Meet John King, the New York cartoonist whose canvas isn’t just limited to paper but also the delectable world of food. King’s artistry isn’t about sprawling narratives or multi-paneled sagas; it’s about the perfect blend of culinary creativity and dark humor.
Enter the tantalizing universe of ‘Fruit Gone Bad,’ a webcomic that’s anything but conventional. It’s a tantalizing blend of fruits, veggies, bread, nuts, pizza, and an assortment of edibles—frolicking about, navigating relationships, and engaging in the quirks of everyday life. But what sets this gastronomic gallery apart is its infusion of dark humor—a seasoning that adds a zesty, if somewhat sinister, flavor to the mix.
