The secret origin and brutal life of Filler Bunny is depicted in the 15 pages of this convention one shot. The Bunny has been genetically engineered to make the reader happy, and if that takes violence, over-eating and projectile vomiting then the Bunny does it. This is all depicted in the worst possible taste but the artwork is an attractive style that brings to mind Tim Burton and that cool Little dead Girl comic I like so much.

As events progress the gross-o-meters get a serious workout and Jhonen starts up a one sided dialogue with the reader regarding the fast approaching deadline and his horror at the fruits of his imagination.

As a mix of the 24 hour comic format, self referencial comics, and gross out sick fest' this succeeds extremely well. It has got quite a few guilty laugh out loud moment as well as some really cute fluffy bunny stuff going on.


In a word: Funnnnaaurgh!
