{"product_id":"ho-ivan-brunetti-9781606991428","title":"Ho!","description":"Hoping to further increase his irrelevance to the esteemed world of graphic novels and thus cement his status as \"former cartoonist,\" the saturnine Ivan Brunetti (author of the acclaimed \u003cem\u003eMisery Loves Comedy\u003c\/em\u003e and editor of Yale Press's two essential \u003cem\u003eAnthologies of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons and True Stories\u003c\/em\u003e) has compiled \u003cem\u003eHO!\u003c\/em\u003e, which collects the vast majority of his morally questionable, aesthetically confused--and absolutely gut-busting--\"gag\" cartoons. \u003cp\u003eCulled mostly from out-of-print work (\u003cem\u003eHee!\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHaw!\u003c\/em\u003e) and other anthologies, the contents are discreetly presented in an uninviting, funereal package of unglamorous black and white. Hopefully, this will keep the impressionable, young, and faint-of-heart unintrigued and at a distance, while those who appreciate a touch of the gallows in their humor can enjoy an uncomfortable chuckle or two before the merciless thumb of oblivion grinds us all into less than dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eHO!\u003c\/em\u003e further cements Brunetti's reputation as the contemporary king of the gag cartoon, a sentiment echoed by noted comedian Patton Oswalt (\u003cem\u003eThe King of Queens\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eComedians of Comedy\u003c\/em\u003e) in his introduction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ivan Brunetti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606991426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606991428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.00h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Ivan Brunetti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078494286079,"sku":"9781606991428","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d15355d-6f5b-4293-bed4-9eb5af10ed1a.jpg?v=1685475838","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ho-ivan-brunetti-9781606991428","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
