SNELSON, Comedy is dying, Ahoy Comics, 2021

(W) Paul Constant (A/CA) Fred Harper

In the 1990s, “edgy” standup comic MELVILLE SNELSON had it all—but twenty-five years later, his jokes come off as tired and offensive. Desperate for a comeback, Snelson sets out on tour with a group of young, socially conscious comedians. Can a '90s has-been hit the big time, or is Snelson about to be cancelled for good? A hilarious, definitely adult contemporary satire that mocks the dying breaths of white male entitlement, from the writer of AHOY’s PLANET OF THE NERDS. All AHOY titles include bonus illustrated prose stories. Issue 1 features a shocking variant cover by Peter Bagge (Hate).
