Johnny Ryan's XXX Scumbag Party

A collection of riotous humor from "Angry Youth Comix," Johnny Ryan is the one-man "Mad" magazine behind the quarterly comic-book series, "Angry Youth Comix," He has made a name ("Rolling Stone" called him 2005's "Hot Cartoonist," based on much of the work from this collection) and built a cult audience with his audacious sense of humor, mixing absurdist slapstick, social parody, and a compulsion for the profane that borders on the Promethean in its rejection of self-censorship (the very title of this book may give some indication). Collecting issues six through ten of "Angry Youth Comix, Johnny Ryan's XXX Scumbag Party" features such signature Ryan characters as Boobs Pooter, Loady McGee, Sinus O'Gynus, Baby Johnson, and Blecky Yuckerella. Featured stories include: "Sherlock McRape in 'Who Hit Nelly in the Belly with Jelly?'," "Battle of the Century" (a thinly-veiled satire of two well-known, anachronistic graphic novelists), parodies of Charles Burns' "Black Hole" and Craig Thompson's "Blankets," "The President of the United States of America in 'Kidnapped!'," "The Comics Code Authority," "My Stupid Wife," the epic "O'Pussy," and even-more-epic "Dry Gulch Follies 2005," featuring just about every character Ryan ever created in one 25-page comedy masterpiece. Peppering the stories are over 100 hilariously profane gag cartoons peppered throughout the book. All that and the standard "much, much, more!" makes this book a must-must-have for fans of over-the-top, politically-incorrect humor like "South Park, Borat," or Howard Stern. Find out why Ryan's work is adored by so many fellow funny people, including the late Edward Gorey, Peter Bagge, Joe Sacco, Coop, Robert Williams, GaryPanter and "Simpsons" producers/writers George Meyer and Dana Gould.Ryan, Johnny is the author of 'Johnny Ryan's XXX Scumbag Party' with ISBN 9781560978671 and ISBN 1560978678.
