Background
If i learned something from internet, is that there's a fetish for everything. Fruits, planes, cleaning you ears with hyssop... But lately i noticed an increase of clown smut, for some reason. Clowngirls in specific. And we know how popular clowns are these days! McDonald's had to retire Ronald McDonald! But you know what the difference about that and this comic? That at least the first one are honest with their purpose, Bongo and Luna not. I don't remember where or how i found this one, but who cares? Les't go to the point.

Downfall
Since day 1 shows the tone of the comic.

Story and Plot
This comic happens in a world where the classical horror creatures (when the author says classical it means that no aliens here) co-exist with the humans. Also apparently most of monster poblation is female, i will expand about this later. We follow the life of Bongo, a comically serious/big bosom clown; and Luna, the lusty/big booty ghost (at least that was describe describe them in the description of the comic), and the day-to-day life with their friends. Oh, and also to show how thirsty are the girls for Bongo.

There is some lore about the monsters, but i truly prefer talk about the characters instead. But for understand the descriptions, you have to know this two things: 1) The clowns are not humans per se, but a sub-species of the humans and 2) The clown have power called "Clown Force", that basically allows them to impossible stuff, more details in this comic. That said, let's go to the cast:

Bongo Guadalupe Santo Cepillin Ramirez: The busty, busty, BUSTY co-protagonist of the webcomic, i'm not exaggerating when i say that the comic really highlights this "trait". It's the nerveous, serious and "done with everything" type of character. In addition of being a clown, she also is Mexican and Conservative Catholic, so that makes her belong in three minorities. She lives in apartement next to a cementery and works in a some type of dinner (i bet my kidney that is THAT burger place). Her mother and her werewolf's stepfather lives in Mexico, her blood-related dad "was gone to buy cigarettes" in front of her. Her hobby is stand up comedy. She can Control the size of her boobs at her own will. Also she can read thoughts, but since is default power for the clowns, i don't count it. Finally, the last thing to say about her is that she is on of the two heterosexual girls, so i don't know with this fact makes all these situations better or worse, since she didn't enjoy it. - Luna: The other co-protagonist of the webcomic, and the alternative for the ass-guys. She is the neighbor of Bongo that lives in the cementery before mentioned (even though she spend more time in Bongo's apartament). She is the energetic, annoying and really, really HORNY type of character. No, seriously, she usually the one that do the horniness jokes. And apparently she was like this even before she died. At somepoint she was banned from since she has a Bashiment Creature in her right eye, that with all these years together asimilated her personality too. Also most of the problems of Bongo is usually caused by her own stupity. She is the only bisexual character in the cast, and Bongo's orbiting drone #1. - Victoria aka Tori: She is a Frankenstein-girl (or the correct term is Frankenstein's wife type of girl? Who cares.) that literally Luna found in the graveyard wandering naked, that starting from there she lives in Bongo's apartament (and don't worry, this eventually this have consequences, unlike other slice-of-life comics). She is the "I born yesterday" character trope, acting like a child that never saw that thing before and be unable to talk. Later she lears to talk out of nowhere and matures a little, so i guess she left the category of jailbait. Thanks to that sudden change we learn how she born and other things about her past, but we talk about that in the writing section. She treats Bongo like a mother. - Kaira: A zombiegirl that is principal characteristics are being chill, crack head and lesbian. She can separate her head from her body and control other bodies when is attached to it. She is in couple with Sarina. Not much else from her, except from being one Bongo's orbiting drone #2. - Lazeph/Alexandria: A demongirl that possessed the body of a school-girl. Before you ask, no, the girl and the demon is not sharing the body, but the soul the of the girl is loosen in the astral plane somehow. As expected from a demon, she is evil, cruel, bloodthirst, grave vandalizer, car thief, and other evil stuff. For some reason, luna tries to befriend her, and this only ends in fucking her plans up. Despite being a manipulative son of a bitch; toned her character down later in the story; and be used for the pantys shots a lot, she is my favorite character in my opinion. Just because she is not obsessed with Bongo and try to get off from Luna's stupidity and horniness. Oh, and she is sister of Memphistopheles, but we will talk about him in the author section. - Sarina: A energatic witch that lives in the same Bongo's apartament complex. Loud personality. Roommate of Aubrey, Garfunkel and Amber. Lesbian. In couple with Kaira. Bongo's orbiting drone #3, and the second one most insistent, the first one begin Luna. - Aubrey/Amber: Originally i have the plan of do separated descriptions, but you know what? Fuck it! Twin sisters. Both werewolf. Both lesbian. Both just as immature and perverts. The only difrecence between them is that one of them is responsible and hardworker and the other one is a lazyass rebel skater. Roommates of Sabrina and Garfunkel. Bongo's orbiting drones #4 and #5. - Garfunkel: Male feral talking cat. Eternal grumpy face, a la Garfield/Squidward. Asshole fulltime. Heavy smoker. Bongo's orbiting drone #6. - Bubblegum: Second clowngirl presented in the comic. Bongo's coworker and life counselor. A little sassy personality, but friendly at least. Curious cat. Especially about bongo's titties, but she is straight. Bongo's orbiting drone #7, but light case of it. - Pepper: Fifth clowngirl presented in the comic (the thirth is Bongo's mother and the fouth is a high school friend of that appear in the mother visit arc). Bongo's coworker. The "new girl in town" trope. Clueless, clumsy, nerveous, shy, a rookie in the clowing arts. The younger of the cast (if you don't count Tori, of course), being 16 years old. Not sure if she is lesbian or not. Bongo's orbiting drone #8, but in a teacher/trainee relantionship. - Lenore: Second ghost girl presented in the comic. Friend of Luna. A drepressed woman, since is a tortured type of soul... A edgy crybaby, my god. Negative at maximum, unable to enjoy anything. Even have a tearful story that have every darks character. Probably bisexual, but since Luna is the type of person that touch without asking, i can't assure nothing. Since she was introduced really late in the comic and don't used a lot before the hiatus, not sure if is a Bongo's orbiting drone or not. - Mister Karras: A private detective and exorcist. A Boogey-man, a femboy looking one. Probably an antagonist of the trio in the future, but since the comic enter in hiatus, he only showed up once.

I could have talked about slasher that Luna fucked, Bongo's parents, Gabby, bongo's high school friend, Britney Kyle, the apartament manager or even Memphistopheles. But these four or are charecters what is denoted that they are only created for one aparition, or the story is not avanced enough for give them more development; so i will not count them.

Art Review
What i can say about the art? Hmmm... It look good, it's very cartoony and expresive. It's sometimes the expresions are too simplistic, the anatomy is akward and reuse some of the panels drawings, but usually is used contextually. Also, depending of what character are in the episode, the title changes, and look cool.

But, but, not everything is gold. And there is great flaw in the characters, their body designs. Let's not cover the sun with the thumb... Bongo, Luna, Tori, even Britney are designed for cheesecake. I mean, look at this: squezed tits, big soft asses, ahegao faces, marked nipples, thight clothes, panty shots, and more and more. The entire stock for fanservice was taken here. And at this point i ask: Why not directly do porn? Because if you want to do a more serious story like the Tori's arc, this only distract the public and destroy any inmersion. Hell, you demostrated in THIS SAME COMIC that you can create normal looking woman... Ah yes, the money, of course.

Also, the author is petty lazy when is comes with backgrounds, that usually is only one or two panels with complex background and the rest are only a solid color. But of course that the backgrounds are not the priority for Manfredo, it only distract the REAL focus of the comic.

Writing review
Well, the comic can be categorized in four formats: One shots, comics that not have continuity; Arcs, comics that have continuity; Asks, comics that respond questions sended by the readers; and Lore, comics that explain how the monsters works in this universe.

The first two formats are self-explanatory. The one shots usually are the ones that are full, full, REALLY full of sexual jokes. The arcs usually are fillers with little story. Hell, one of is a Beach episode. Later, close to the end of the comic, becomes a little more serious, but it's hard to take seriouly when the characters so goofy. The thirth one is where my corcern levels start to rising. Why? Because the questions itself. One question can be "what is your favorite food?", and the other can be "what is your favorite porn?". Look, i'm not a prude, but i doubt that is the type of question you will ask to anyone. Finally we have the Lore format, these one are interesing, but since was aplicated in close of the ending of the comic, we don't have much of it.

Other thing that you can complain is how presented the sexual jokes. It really looks that tries to bleach the sexual harassement, and i don't talk lightly, this webcomic litteraly starts with Luna gropping Bongo's bubs angainst her will. Because if between two woman, there's no problem, right? Or between two males, as shown one of the late comics. This is presented in all the comic with almost every character, but only Luna is the one doing the physical touch. And the only thing positive of this, IMO, is the fact that Bongo don't like this. Usually other authors would make her like it, but with Malfedro not, and that's a relief. But is like say is a relief that you get kicked in the balls in Saturday, because the rest of the days you get stabbed in the legs. It's an improvenment, but still sucks.

The other problem with the sexual jokes comes with Tori. Look at her. Look like a a mature woman, not? Well, later in the comic it was established that SHE BORN THE DAY BEFORE LUNA FOUND HER. Not only that, the story before the Visit to Bongo's parents arc, acts like a toddler: she has to be teached to talk from zero, she has to be teached basic manners, she even has to be teached to walk, walk! And Luna will look any oportunity for touch that cake. You have a idea of how fucked is that? But the tomfuckery not stop there, in the Adoption arc, she and Alexandria goes to the house of one of the her creator's familiars, and they discover that there living a woman that is exactly like her without the "addons" and little girl that also looks like her and also is a frankie. Since the comic entered in a indefined hiatus, and the scientist that created her was established that is was dead, we have not idea why is happening here. I imaginate the worst, since Tori it was designed like that woman, but with gigants tits and ass. But there's no way to know now.

Author Biography
Alfredo Morales (CheesyManfredo) is cartoonist for San Diego, California. He is also the author of Villainverse, a webcomic about the villainy. In fact, the character Memphistopheles comes from this comic, like a promotion. Alfredo is Pro-BlackLivesMatter, and he basically tells you if you are one to fuck off and don't read the comic. Mate, mate, i have to explain you the concept of how works the internet and the free hosting or what? Take this like a precedent of the next theme to talk: what happen after the announced hiatus.

Let's recap: Alfredo announced the hiatus (literally two days after the 200th episodes celebration), silence, in May 13, 2020 publish some bonus comics, more silence, until January 27, 2021, where published a announce that said he decided to revive the comic. But with one condition: that his Patreon has to reach the goal of $500 dollars, and starting from there he will update the comic everytime that the goal reach the $500 dollars again. I remember when this was announced, i check the patreon and it was around $450. Then i check it again, and still in $450, even i can say that it was less than before. At some point this announce is gone. I'm not sure if the author delet it, since this tweet that says that Webtoon was deleting some episodes and he asks for $200 more dollars to acelarate the creation of the website. But since i revised the patreon again and now i less than $100 dollars, i bet that the author did that and pretended nothing happen.

Oh, and nowdays is using his twitter to promote his nsfw account and his NSFW comic with Luna in it (NSFW link).

Conclusion
I will sincere, i readed the comic because i was curious. I liked the style, althrough i don't noticed the gigantics boobs of Bongo in the thumbail at first (i'm that blind). I achieved the goal to read it all, but a what cost? The sexual jokes of Luna more than funny or stimulating is rather annoing and disturbing. The story is hard to take seriously with the gigantic "Addons" of the protagonists. The lore is interesing, but practically not used at maximun in the little time that the comic existed.

I wouldn't recommend the comic to anyone, not even the most jerkers ones. Have a litte of dignity and at least fap with porn that show things, my god. There's only two ways that this comic improves, or tone down the sexual appeal and focus the in the world, or directly make it NSFW. But the author will not do neither, since is more concentrated with the NSFW comic and Villainverse. A shame.
