Angry Youth Comix (Collected Editions) #2
Angry Youth Comix, Vol. 2: Johnny Ryan's XXX Scumbag Party
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 as well as many other surprises, Johnny Ryan's XXX Scumbag Party
features such signature Ryan characters as Boobs Pooter, Loady McGee,
Sinus O'Gynus, Baby Johnson, and Blecky Yuckerella, as well as over 100
hilariously offensive gag cartoons peppered throughout the book.

About the author
Johnny Ryan
93 books77 followersJohn F. Ryan IV (born November 30, 1970, in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American comics creator, writer, and animator. In a throwback to the days of underground comix, Ryan's oeuvre is generally an attempt to be as shocking and politically incorrect as possible.
Ryan started his career self-publishing Angry Youth Comix, a series of eleven mini-comic issues from 1994 to 1998. In 1998, he began showing his work to Peter Bagge, creator of Hate comics, who introduced the material to Eric Reynolds of Fantagraphics. In 2001, Fantagraphics began publishing volume 2 of the series.
Among Ryan's creations there are the comic strip Blecky Yuckerella and the comic book series Prison Pit.
In animation, Ryan has worked as story editor for the Looney Tuness and co-created the Nickelodeon show Pig Goat Banana Cricket with Dave Cooper. Ryan and Cooper have collaborated on a number of comics as well, usually under the pen name 'Hector Mumbly'.
Ryan's illustrations have appeared in MAD, LA Weekly, National Geographic Kids, Hustler Magazine, The Stranger, and elsewhere. Ryan has also done work for clients such as Nobleworks greetings cards, Rhino Records, and Fox TV. His comics have been translated into Spanish, Portuguese and French.

Although art was cleaned up from previous comiXXX, think I preferred edgier spirited vol.1 little more. You can still get your dark humor here.

Man! Johnny Ryan is on a different level. If you know anything about his comics, they are not "politically correct". Obscenities and offensive things on every single page! But that's comedy baby! Hilarious, unapologetic, wacky comics. This stuff is a blast! Highly recommended! If you can handle it!

I can't with clear conscience recommend this book. It's far too filthy. It's also one of the funniest things I've ever read, with nearly ever page containing a laugh out loud gag. I love the art too, so simple yet effective. Johnny Ryan is the genius of poop jokes!
