Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Graphic designer and animator Rafael Grampa’s (who had previously done the art for a few short comics including a Hellblazer anthology) debut graphic novel, it is insane and depraved in the best way possible. Best described as Sam Peckinpah meets The Twilight Zone.Mesmo Delivery is a short and ambiguously eerie story about a violent confrontation at a seedy road side diner between Rufo, an ex-boxer now working as a truck driver and Forceps, a mean-spirited street fighter. Unfortunately for everyone Sangrecco, Rufo’s fellow courier who is under specific instructions to not let any one find out exactly what their cargo is, decides to intervene in the fight and it’s not pretty.Grampa’s art and story telling is … unique, a visual style that consists of cartoony proportions with lots of fine stippling and lush brushwork that suggests a rough texture and a visceral but distorted world. His skill at form and perspective gives the comic’s fight scenes some excellent choreography.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Red Right Hand | |
| Mesmo Delivery (Comic Book) / int_25b7257f | comment |
Red Right Hand: Forceps has an artificial hand that he can detach and swap around for a massive grey fist because as a kid he went "plum crazy fer them cartoons where the fella'd blow his fist up big like a balloon" | |

Cultural Translation | |
| Mesmo Delivery (Comic Book) / int_7d49d74a | comment |
Cultural Translation: Forceps's name in the original Brazilian is "Tiradentes" (lit: Tooth-puller) which is both an archaic term for a dentist and more famously the name of one of the greatest Brazilian historical national heroes of all time. The reference would likely fly past the heads of non-Brazilians, so they swapped it to Forceps everywhere else. | |

Asshole Victim: Forceps is kind of a dick, so his fate doesn't really strike any sadness in the audience. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Mesmo Delivery (Comic Book) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: When Rufo enters the diner Forceps is telling his friends about how he punched someone so hard once one of their teeth embedded itself in his hand. And when Sangrecco is talking about how he would have been a better Elvis than Elvis he says what most readers would think of as ridiculous bragging. | |

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: You could be forgiven for mistaking Sangrecco as some lanky oddball who talks too much, but it would be a horrible mistake. | |

Soundtrack Dissonance | |
| Mesmo Delivery (Comic Book) / int_abad35b4 | comment |
Soundtrack Dissonance: While it's a comic, Sangrecco singing the Elvis classic "A Little Less Conversation" whilst he butchers half-a-dozen people is clearly meant to be dissonant. | |
