Johnny Ryan is my God Now!
Speaking of my friend Dan, I don’t think I’ve been the same since Dan turned me on to cartoonist Johnny Ryan’s work. Disgusting, vulgar, sick, offensive, and thoroughly wonderful, Ryan’s work spoofs every possible kind of stereotype and taboo known to man. It’s like reading comics by the dirtiest 5th grader on Earth. I now own The Comic Book Holocaust - the collection of Johnny’s Klassic Komix Klub - where he draws dirty parodies of superhero comics, graphic novels, classic literature, etc. My favorite is a spoof of Fantastic Four where Mr. Fantastic stretches his penis to have sex with the Invisible Woman only to have it catch on a very visible turd in her ass. Yep, that’s about the level of humor we’re talking about here. It’s like the Tijuana Bibles for the modern age. I’ve also got XXX Scumbag Party and What are you Lookin At? which are the anthologies of Johnny’s comic book Angry Youth Comix, the cover of the most recent issue is printed after the jump. (more…)
