On the other hand, Ma-Ha starts working at Shin-Bi's Cafe and learns more about Hye-Min and Shin-Bi's strange relationship. Read how this cynical love story unfolds.

To fans of the animated cartoon duo Ren and Stimpy--a volatile, violent Chihuahua and a stupid, bloated cat--Cooper and McInnes' Pip and Norton may seem merely derivative. Or they may seem the next word in mayhem, grossness, and chaos. Ren-like Pip is a lozenge-shaped, dog-eared, hyperkinetic nonhuman who rooms with Norton, a big-headed little fat guy who floats like a blimp. Pathologically needy pop-culture consumer Pip is always hell-bent on gratification, while Norton calmly points out, to no avail, Pip's stupidity, foolhardiness, and needless malevolence. The nervously drawn pair is better in long adventures than in single-panel pieces, short strips, or one-pagers. Good in this context means outrageous, and so action toys, brain-eating zombies, Norton's smelly socks, and Barbra Streisand are the mainsprings of the four long adventures on view. The Streisand opus, in which Pip murders an old lady and gets James Brolin to think he, Brolin, is the second-come Christ, is the wildest...

America's first surrealist superhero! Be it killing criminals with baloney guns, fighting eight-foot long chicken wings, or romancing bodacious sidekicks, Flaming Carrot is the everyman's kind of hero! From the creator of the cult-classic Mystery Men movie!

This book collects eighteen previously unpublished essays on the riddle--a genre of discourse found in virtually every human culture. Hasan-Rokem and Shulman have drawn these essays from a variety of cultural perspectives and disciplines; linguists, anthropologists, folklorists, and religion and literature scholars consider riddling practices in Hebrew, Finnish, Indian languages, Chinese, and classical Greek. The authors seek to understand the peculiar expressive power of the riddle, and the cultural logic of its particular uses; they scrutinize the riddle's logical structure and linguistic strategies, as well as its affinity to neighboring genres such as enigmas, puzzles, oracular prophecy, proverbs, and dreams. In this way, they begin to answer how riddles relate to the conceptual structures of a particular culture, and how they come to represent a culture's cosmology or cognitive map of the world. More importantly, these essays reveal the human need for symbolic...

Good Humor, Bad Taste is the first extensive sociological study of the relationship between humor and social background. Using a combination of interview materials, survey data, and historical materials, the book explores the relationship between humor and gender, age, regional background, and especially, humor and social class in the Netherlands. The final chapter focuses on national differences, exploring the differences between the American and the Dutch sense of humor, again using a combination of interview and survey materials. The starting point for this exploration of differences in sense of humor is one specific humorous genre: the joke. The joke is not a very prestigious genre; in the Netherlands even less so than in the US. It is precisely this lack of status that made it a good starting point for asking questions about humor and taste. Interviewees generally had very pronounced opinions about the genre, calling jokes "their favorite kind humor", but also "completely...

The most acclaimed (and controversial) humor cartoonist to burst on the comics scene since Peter Bagge, Johnny Ryan mixes social satire with an absurdist sense of humor to come up with some of the most notoriously hilarious comics in the last five years, in the pages of his ongoing comic book series, Angry Youth Comix . It's almost impossible to explain what makes something funny, but whatever it is, fans and critics agree that Ryan has it in spades. The book includes several stories featuring Ryan's signature creation, Loady McGee (and straight-man Synus O'Gynus), a misanthropic, acne-scarred hustler who finds himself in scams that would make Wimpy proud, and responds to almost everything with an endless stream of wisecracks, puns, and X-rated double entendres. Loady's ridiculous crackpot schemes—opening a brothel staffed by mutant lizards, get-rich-quick inventions like the "Pussy Hunter 6000," founding a comic book school, and selling used toilet paper passed-off as...

This hardcover features the first 12 issues of the hit series along with the covers for the issues in one oversized hardcover volume. Perfect for long time fans, new readers and anyone needing a slightly heavy object with which to fend off the walking dea.

Disgusting, abhorrent, and just plain terrible. But people love them. Tackling every taboo subject, this truly tasteless little book proves that there's nothing too sacred to be laughed at. After all, it was a #1 bestseller.
