It’s not just Megg’s depressive episodes, which are impressively bleak on their own, but the self-sabotaging behavior that all the characters participate in, revealing a deep, clear sadness behind the arching narrative. The small cast features Megg (a witch), Mogg (a cat/Megg’s lover) and Owl (a humanoid owl) the trio share a house where they spend most of their time smoking weed, watching TV and going on misadventures that start out comedic and slowly turn tragic. Packaged like a DVD box set with an end-sheet inspired by John Everett Millais’ painting of Ophelia, Simon Hanselmann’s Megahex - a collection of his popular episodic comic - is much more ambitious than its stoner characters might initially suggest. ![]()
