{"product_id":"foolbert-funnies-histories-and-other-fictions","title":"Foolbert Funnies: Histories and Other Fictions","description":"\"Cult\" cartoonist Frank Stack is best known as the artist behind Harvey Pekar's award-winning graphic novel, \u003cem\u003eMy Cancer Year\u003c\/em\u003e (his art was featured in the \u003cem\u003eAmerican Splendo\u003c\/em\u003er film), and as the creator of the first underground comic book, \u003cem\u003eThe Adventures of Jesus\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eFoolbert Funnies\u003c\/em\u003e collects comics--inspired by Stack's pop culture-filled childhood and travails as a fine arts professor--that ran in \u003cem\u003eNational Lampoon\u003c\/em\u003e and other publications. (For decades, Stack's work was published under the pseudonym \"Foolbert Sturgeon\" to protect his career.) In \u003cem\u003eFoolbert Funnies\u003c\/em\u003e, you will find adventuress Dirty Diana; nostalgic time traveler Frank Crankcase; commonsensical Dr. Feelgood; politician Paddy Booshwah; \"Southern Fried Homicide\"; and a host of Amazons, artists, and pulp heroes, all depicted in Stack's scratchy, hatchy \"crowquill\" style. This \"best of the rest\" is a tribute to a Texan who's been quietly creating observational, iconoclastic art for more than forty years.","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62085059445106,"sku":"BS-R4W-998083","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/2972\/2226\/files\/9781606998083-HD.jpg?v=1784505528","url":"https:\/\/www.novelpanel.com\/products\/foolbert-funnies-histories-and-other-fictions","provider":"Novel Panel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
