Arflovers Hi fives: Johnny Ryan

Rolling Stone in a recent survey anointed Ryan one of the world’s coolest people. His Fantagraphics Angry Youth Comix makes you double over in laughter—and pain. The pain of laughing at such politically incorrect humor. I love him (but not in THAT way, I have a thing for his Mom as you’ll read below).


Johhny “Dollar” Ryan

Johnny recently edited a special comics edition of Vice magazine which is what I’ll be talking about with him today. Vice is available in hip boutiques and record stores for free and Johnny’s comic is worth every penny! Click on the cover fror a couple of sample pages. Then it’s on to the questions below!


(click for preview)

1. Johnny, does your mother know you edited a comics issue of a magazine called “Vice”?

No, she doesn’t know. In fact, she doesn’t know anything because she’s retarded.

2. I just screwed your Mom last night and she sure didn’t seem retarded. You got Mad Magazine’s Al Jaffee to do the cover. Who did you have to blow to score that?

He’s done illustration work for VICE before. The editor, Gavin McInnes, was the one who did the blowing.

3. You even got Jaffee to do a fart joke. How many pages would the magazine of been if you didn’t have high class comics about passing gas?

It would have been -8 pages.

4. Your own comics WERE the best thing in the ish, why did you bother with all those other losers?

“Losers”?!? Wow! That’s pretty cold-blooded, Yoesy! You are one mean dude!

Thanks, Johnny ! And say hi to your mom for me! -CY
