Which of these is doing its own thing?

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things is doing its
own thing, one of these things i not the same...

Actually, more than one. Some are smut. Some are highly praise-worthy comics. Some? "Big Blown Baby" is, ultimately, no more drudged into its toilet-humour than "Captain Underpants" (a children's book my mother for some reason tried to unload on me.) Mike Diana is a typical case of how First Amendment victims tend to concern irredemably retarded "art". I believe Chester Brown once said that he was "trying his best to offend almost anyone" at the time of the publication of his confiscated comics.

Giving the benefit of the doubt to a number of items, there are two items here that make no sense to me whatsoever But perhaps I need to read Will Eisner's "A Life Force" and the first issue of Betty's Diary. (Betty's Diary???)
