Narrative In Pursuance Of Books Ed the Happy Clown (A Yummy Fur Book)

A LONG-OUT-OF-PRINT CLASIC BY A MASTER OF UNDERGROUND COMICS

In the late 1980s, the idiosyncratic Chester Brown (author of the muchlauded Paying for It and Louis Riel) began writing the cult classic comic book series Yummy Fur. Within its pages, he serialized the groundbreaking Ed the Happy Clown, revealing a macabre universe of parallel dimensions. Thanks to its wholly original yet disturbing story lines, Ed set the stage for Brown to become a world-renowned cartoonist.

Ed the Happy Clown is a hallucinatory tale that functions simultaneously as a dark roller-coaster ride of criminal activity and a scathing condemnation of religious and political charlatanism. As the world around him devolves into madness, the eponymous Ed escapes variously from a jealous boyfriend, sewer monsters, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and a janitor with a Jesus complex. Brown leaves us wondering, with every twist of the plot, just how Ed will get out of this scrape.

The intimate, tangled world of Ed the Happy Clown is definitively presented here, repackaged with a new foreword by the author and an extensive notes section, and is, like every Brown book, astonishingly perceptive about the zeitgeist of its time.

Notice About Books Ed the Happy Clown (A Yummy Fur Book)

DRAWN AND QUARTERLY WHEN ARE YOU PUTTING THIS BACK IN PRINT????LOOK AT ME YR MAKING ME YELL ON THE ONLINE.

This is weird for the sake of just being weird. Lets see. A guy who cant stop pooping. Another guy whose hand just randomly fall off. A talking penis. Eww! A bunch of alien pygmies worshiping said penis. In the midst of it all, some vampires are hunting these pygmies. Nothing makes sense.

So at one point, the eponymous clown winds up with Ronald Reagan's miniaturized head on the tip of his penis. The head apparently smothers to death during sex, but not to worry it has no lungs, it doesn't need air!This is an extremely weird tale, probably made weirder by Brown writing over a lot of years with different stylistic decisions and plot changes made as he went (the essay in the back gets into that) I liked it a lot better as it went along and became more cohesive. It reminds me of

I don't know what to say about this book other than it's weird, slightly disturbing (in a good interesting way and doesn't take long to read.It's better than other graphic novels I've tried to pick up as I actually managed to stay interested and only took and hour to read.

I'm a pretty big fan of Chester Brown's autobiographical stuff (especially Paying For It), but this was a totally different thing. At first it felt like a bunch of disjointed and unconnected strips, but then it became apparent that everything was in fact connected, and everything was in fact totally fucking weird.And I totally feel for the Man Who Couldn't Stop.

I read this years ago and it is truly one of my faves!!! Dark and surreal and very very very incredibly funny.

Despite my feelings on Chester Brown after reading Paying for It, I can't deny the fact that I really do like his artwork and his comics. Ed the Happy Clown was kind of all over the place but oddly enough it worked. The bits with the Ronald Reagan character was kind of boring/not my favorite part of the story but I still enjoyed the graphic novel as a whole. Again, I really enjoy the notes that Brown includes after his comics, which explain certain panels/pages and helps me understand not only
