Take a Joke (Angry Youth Comix)

Take a Joke (Angry Youth Comix)

Comics that make South Park look like Teletubbies!
Johnny Ryanâ€™s transgressive masterpiece Prison Pit has been the talk of alt-comics circles for the past year since its debut in the summer of 2009. But before Prison Pit, Ryan garnered a considerable following via his one-man humor anthology (which doubled as a one-man War Against Political Correctness) Angry Youth Comix. Take a Joke collects many of the best stories from this inimitable series as well as many strips created for the wildly-popular Vice magazine, to which Ryan has contributed for years.

Unlike Ryanâ€™s previous collections, which focused on very short stories, Take a Joke spotlights several of the artistâ€™s longest humor pieces to date, notably: â€œGraveyard Goofs,â€ in which Ryanâ€™s hapless antiheroes Sinus Oâ€™Gynus and Loady McGee exhume the corpse of the recently-deceased Santa Claus as part of a Top Secret experiment, fantasize an orgy with a collection of anthropomorphic condiment bottles (resulting in an unwanted pregnancy), and end up in Hell; â€œBoobs Pooterâ€™s Jokepocalypse,â€ starring a coprophiliac version of Godzilla who destroys the world with hilarious jokes and crazy pranks; and â€œThe Worldâ€™s Funniest Joke,â€ a 24-page masterpiece that makes The Aristocrats look like a Nora Ephron film.

All this plus Cheeseburger Chase, Omletta DuPont, and â€œThe Day The New Yorker Came to Townâ€! 128 pages of color and black-and-white comics
