Wong seems to want to stay just this side of the Bizarro genre, which features many of the same tropes but taken to even greater extremes of sex and maniacal violence. Some of it remains funny it's just that being confronted by incessant nonsense is sort of like being the only "normal" person in a room full of comedians: It's amusing at first, but by the end you want to run away. John's turn is always inflated by false tales of his sexual prowess. Part of the series' conceit is that Wong, John and Amy each tell sections of the story. His character lives above a store that sells sex toys, and that alone leads to a new joke about once every five pages.
If there's room for a vulgarity, Wong inevitably uses it. At one point the entity pretends to be Wong, and in so doing highlights to Amy the problems with the couple's relationship. Their enemy has the power to masquerade as anyone and plant strong suggestions in others' minds, making Wong, for example, think a toy telephone is actually a smartphone.
This time around, Wong, John, and Wong's girlfriend Amy start out looking for one kidnapped child and then a bunch of children, none of whom may actually exist.
