Synopsis

• Johnny Ryan garnered a considerable following with his one-man humor anthology, 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. Unlike Ryan's previous collections, which focused on very short stories, Take a Joke spotlights several of the artist's longest humor pieces to date, notably: "Graveyard Goofs," in which Ryan's hapless antiheroes Sinus O'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; "Boobs Pooter's Jokepocalypse," starring a coprophiliac version of Godzilla who destroys the world with hilarious jokes and crazy pranks; and "The World's Funniest Joke," a 24-page masterpiece. All this, plus "The Day The New Yorker Came to Town"!
