Phil Foglio isn't a household name though I think he should be. He's an artist and a writer and just plain funny. I first saw his work in Dragon magazine where he gleefully lampooned the world of Dungeons & Dragons. The long running gag of strip was that they were always interrupted from doing their "Sex and D&D strip" by some absurd crisis. Well a few years later when on his own he did do his version of "Sex and D&D" among other strange things with his magazing "XXXenophile."
Now I'm not prudish by nature, but neither am I too interested in Porn. What I have seen I generally found boring. There is more sexual tension and heat in some burger commercials than most porn. "XXXenophile" though was a horse of a different color. It was actually funny, and often as not oddly sweet. It played more like a cross between cheers and the twilight zone with a whole lot of T&A. The playful spirit is best scene in the cover where a lady is reclined in bed with little paper buildings all over her body and the fellow next to the bed is zipping up a godzilla suit.
If you are of age and in good humor it wouldn't hurt to look up a back issue of XXXenophile. If you like Phil's humor (he's as funny in real life I can tell you that) you should definitely check out the tamer "Genius Girl."
