The comic was not this ridiculous from what I remember (it has been years). In fact it made fun of Victorian mores fairly effectively and cleverly and there was some questionable content, namely Mina Harker 'recruiting' the Invisible Man from a girls school where there had been a number of 'Immaculate Conceptions'.

It reminded me of Kim Newman's Anno Dracula, where Dr. Henry Jekyl presides over a medical inquest and that consulting detective, Mr. Holmes, is unavailible due to 'differences with the present goverment'.
