Humor Can Be Funny

by Sam Henderson

The definitive collection Sam Henderson's early Magic Whistle mini-comics -- now digitally remastered. Henderson's drawings have the same sort of energy and feel as the classic gag cartoonists, but with a far more twisted take on comedy -- extremely low-brow humor that almost parodies low-brow humor. "The brevity suits Henderson and his style of savage, biting, sarcastic humor. Henderson realizes the subject matter often doesn't merit more than one brutal kick-in-the-ass punchline,” raves Tom Spurgeon of The Comics Journal. Join his regular cast of characters: Dirty Danny, The Brube, He Aims To Please, Robot Duckling, Monroe Simmons, and hundreds of others, for a unique and very funny comic book experience. Over the years Sam has contributed to many dozens of anthologies and produced the comic book Magic Whistle for over 20 years. His Scene But Not Heard comic appeared in every issue of Nickelodeon Magazine from 1996 to 2010. Sam was also an Emmy-nominated writer of a number of Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon shows. Introduction by Mark Martin

Many people will tell you that humor can never be funny, but they are wrong. Humor can be funny.

[Al McCarty · Rating 4 out of 5]

Funny CAN be humorous. All the farting robot ducks agree!
