{"product_id":"stan-macks-real-life-funnies-stan-mack-9781683969167","title":"Stan Mack's Real Life Funnies: The Collected Conceits, Delusions, and Hijinks of New Yorkers from 1974 to 1995","description":"Sketchbook in hand, Stan Mack haunted the New York City environs, watching, listening, overhearing, and interviewing its inhabitants. He drew a comic strip every week based on what he saw and heard, famously using verbatim dialogue for his graphic dramatizations. A mixture of humor, spontaneity, serendipity, and weirdness, Mack's comic strip snapshots caught New Yorkers -- whether it is an extortionist calligrapher, a baby evading arrest at her first protest, a stroll up Broadway with a ferret, an evening with a male liberationist, or an unlucky-in-love dolphin trainer -- being who they are in all their unguarded and uninhibited glory. This collection includes a foreword by CNN journalist Jake Tapper (\u003cem\u003eThe Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor\u003c\/em\u003e) and an afterword by Jeannette Walls (\u003cem\u003eThe Glass Castle\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stan Mack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1683969162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683969167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics-Fu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2024","brand":"Stan Mack","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44598794289407,"sku":"9781683969167","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_271679b6-50af-41cb-ad7b-d448b357d249.jpg?v=1702384464","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stan-macks-real-life-funnies-stan-mack-9781683969167","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
