Sex in the Comics (1972)
*** (out of 4)
Fun and rather interesting porno from the Golden Era has a young woman showing up to the office of a cartoon artist who educates her on adult comics.
SEX IN THE COMICS is basically paying tribute to the "Tijuana Bibles," which were adult comic books. These books were usually a few pages long and featured dirty stories with pornographic images. I've never actually read one of these or held on in my hands but from what I gathered these were done for both comic effect as well as their dirty nature.
This film from Anthony Spinelli basically tries to re-create the stories that you would see in them and that light-mood is what's on display in this film. Pretty much every single story is over-the-top, exagerated and you can just tell that the filmmakers were trying to be as silly as possible. I will give them credit though as some of the episodes are rather erotic.
The one problem with the film is that at 81-minutes it runs on way too long. The comic nature is pretty much the same in each episode so the film begins to feel a bit too long during the final stretch so I think the film would have been much better at around a hour mark.
