I've just started reading the comic (er, graphic novel ... whatever).

I can't comment yet, but I just have a sneaking suspicion the movie filmed the comic panel-for-panel, line-for-bubble ... but somehow got the tone all wrong.

I liked the story in the movie, but the proceedings seemed somehow so flat for what is such a pop-culture phenomenon. I'm hoping to grok the proper tone from the book.


One big difference (if that is indeed the right descriptor) is the blue penis barely appears in the comic, but is All OvER the movie.

The film has an R rating, but I still don't think you'd get away with that much penis if it weren't a CG dick.
