I have a friend who's very much into DCC, but all he laughs about is a talking cat and a robot who's very clearly into feet. I was bored of it already the third time he brought up a reference to the feet-thing, so I don't really feel like reading a whole series with that type of running gag.

I never heard a word about the dark humour in it... Then again maybe he tries not to spoil anything and that's why it seems kinda weak?

I'll probably go for it if it ever becomes like an animated series or something.
