What are you lookin' at? - Johnny Ryan

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. Loady's ridiculous crackpot schemes - including 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 new - serve as perfect comic set-ups, and Ryan's visual gags and existential asides bring to mind Will Elder (MAD magazine).
