Editing Alien Loves Predator (section)

==Style==
The artwork of ''ALP'' is composed by juxtaposing photos of real-life [[action figures]] into backgrounds also primarily generated from photos. This style has alternately been called [[photocollage]], photocomics or [[Photo strip|fumetti]]. A reviewer has stated that ''ALP'' "sets the bar for this art style."<ref>{{cite web|author=Korsil |url=http://korsil.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=153  |title=Korsil :: Korsil Webcomic Reviews: It's like Webcomics 'R' Us, but better! |date=August 2, 2005 |accessdate=2010-09-23 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20050802092912/http://korsil.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=153 |archivedate = August 2, 2005}}</ref>

''ALP''{{'}}s humor is often based on [[surreal humor|absurdism]] and [[Non sequitur (literary device)|non-sequitur]]s. Abe and Preston speak English and treat each other just as human friends do, and the specific mythology of the ''[[Alien (film)|Alien]]'' and ''[[Predator (film)|Predator]]'' franchises is not a primary focus. Although the New York City of the strip seems virtually identical to the one we know in real life, the humans we see are generally unconcerned by the fact that an Alien and a Predator are living among them. (An [[parallel universe (fiction)|alternate universe]] storyline that [http://alienlovespredator.com/2009/07/28/chinese-on-speed-dial/ began in July 2009] has challenged this notion.)

Along with the [[surrealist]] humor of seeing alien races act just like humans, the strip simultaneously presents an observational brand of humor. Abe and Preston often are depicted going through the same frustrations that real-life modern-day New Yorkers encounter as they try to do such things as rent apartments, eat out at restaurants, and ride the [[New York City Subway|subway]]. [[Transformers (film)|''Transformers'']] screenwriter [[John Rogers (writer)|John Rogers]] has compared ALP to ''[[Seinfeld]]'' in this respect.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://kfmonkey.blogspot.com/2004/12/that-looks-like-work.html |title=Kung Fu Monkey: That looks like work |publisher=Kfmonkey.blogspot.com |date=December 19, 2004 |accessdate=2009-05-30 |archive-date=December 7, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101207035615/http://kfmonkey.blogspot.com/2004/12/that-looks-like-work.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
