This is great. It starts out as a pretty straightforward PSA about why kids shouldn’t play with fireworks or explosives. But then it slowly slides into an instructional comic about how to produce incrementally more dangerous toys, complete with diagrams. The dissonance between the detailed “how-to” drawings and the captions warning the reader to absolutely not do these things is hilarious. It reaches a highpoint when it explains how to generate a fireball. Good times.
