2016 Comic Challenge 098 Monica's Story

TITLE-Monica's Story
PUBLISHER-Alternative Comics

Yep there is a comic book version of the Monica/Bill Clinton scandal. This came out in either late 98 or early 99.Written by Jon Lewis,with an assist from the Starr Report,and with semi famous artist James Kochalka.

We get to see stuff like the first time Monica showed Bill her whaletail.

We see how their relationship slowly built. And while the comic never gets super graphic in showing what happened. You do get scenes were it is obvious that Clinton is getting some oral in the Oval Office.

Then we get to X-mas Eve. And Monica sees that someone has sent the President a box of cigars.Which as most of y'all should know leads up to the most infamous part of the entire Starr Report. A scene that the artist does a neat way of showing it without going into full on porn territory.

Yep they used the Presidental seal to cover up Monica's vagina. So the comic starts moving forward in time. And of course all of us old enough to remember when this was all over the news,has to remember the famous stain Monica had on an old dress. And of course the comic has to show us this scene also.

Oh that wacky Monica thinking it is spinach dip.And our 33 page story,they use the inside back cover for the last page,ends with Monica thinking all is good.

I remember when I saw the advance order for this comic thinking "Ok if this wasn't from James Kochalka I wouldn't order it." And the comic shop I went to ended up only ordering 3 copies. My copy,one for the owner and one for the wall.

I do like how they managed to stick to the official story without going to far in showing graphic sex. The choice of James as the artist was damn good. His style is a bit cartoony with a dash of realism.

Monica's Story gets a buy. But only if you find it for under $5.
