As Wikipedia's resident expert on penis comics, I hereby present the grandaddy of all penis comics—and the work on whose shoulders squarely lays the blame for the 40+-year fad in confessional comics that at times threatens to glut and drown the whole field of English-language arts comics. The work's protagonist-author unknowingly suffers from an obsessive–compulsive disorder which results in intrusive thoughts that make him see everything even vaguely phallic—including his own fingers—blasting every religious object in sight with sinful "pecker rays". This editor's last "penis comics" nomination somehow survived an initial onslaught of sensible opposition—hopefully the sheer proliferation of penises in this one will ensure the community will not allow another such error.

This seems close to being an FA.

• The content of the lead does not match the weight of the content in the article. Perhaps something about style could be added to the lead, or perhaps the synopsis is overly detailed in the beginning. Or perhaps it is fine as it is.
  • Hmm ... I'm not sure how best to sum up the visual style. Did you have anything in mind? Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 01:01, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• File:Justin Green (1972) Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary splash page.jpg needs information about the appropriateness of the resolution.
  • Resized and resolution info added. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 01:01, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• I would like to see the number of pages in the book in the infobox.
  • Done. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 01:01, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I do not wish to review this further, but after reading the article for fun, it seems to me to meet Wikipedia:Featured article criteria. Another reviewer should do fact checking and think about what could have been added but is not present. Blue Rasberry (talk) 00:06, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

• File:TreasureChestvol12no12.jpg: source link is dead. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:43, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorryfor the delay—I missed this. I couldn't find another source or an archive of the page, so I replaced it with File:Treasure Chest 184 cover.jpg, which I think is better for the article anyways. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 09:23, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Closing comment -- sorry Curly but this nom seems to have been a bit of a non-starter; given the lack of commentary I wouldn't object if you brought it back for a fresh try without waiting the usual two weeks. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 23:48, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
