{"product_id":"foolbert-funnies-frank-stack-9781606998083","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Stack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606998080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606998083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/26\/2015","brand":"Frank Stack","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587790057727,"sku":"9781606998083","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foolbert-funnies-frank-stack-9781606998083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
