Do it.....FOR JOHNNY!

Listen kids, it's rare that I fucking come on to this blog and plug some kind of product or do some kind of unpaid advertising unless I feel that strongly about it. I figure you get bombarded by the media on a daily basis to buy shit you don't really need, from the moment you wake up in the morning until you go to bed at night. In this case, this is where I feel strongly enough to make such a sales pitch. Enter Johnny Ryan. I met this dude last year at the San Diego Comic-Con. I was wandering around this cluster-fuck of gaggling nerds and fat men dressed up like space aliens when I found the booth he was renting. Something was going on to where he wanted to leave and take care of something but I interrupted him and bothered the dude for like 10 minutes. Instead of telling me to fuck off, he patiently listened to me explain how glad I was to meet him and how much I enjoyed what he did for a living. I shook his hand and went on my way, leaving him to take care of the urgent business that was calling him. When I was in high school - about 14 or 15 or whatever, I got into the comic book scene for a while. I would read shit like Groo the Wanderer and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before it became a stupid cartoon and spawned 3 horrible movies. I was facinated with the amount of detail involved and how cleverly put together the humor was. I lost interest in it when I discovered masturbation and from there, PORN. Anycase, about 10 or so years later when I was stationed at Andrews, I became interested again in comic books for some reason. For a while there I was fascinated with Bob Fingerman and the work of Robert Crumb but the University of Maryland book store only carried a limited selection so I didn't stick with it for long. Fast-forward to 2003. I go to Washington DC and stay at the Georgetown University Medical Center for medical testing, all the way from Japan. They wanna see if I am a potential match for some dude dying of leukemia or some shit, so I figure it's a free ride back to the States. I go into some college book store and stumble across Porta-Johnny, a collection of his better work. I fall in love with it instantly and read it non-stop while I'm there getting needles drilled into my ass. I even take it with me to Korea where there isn't shit to do except drink and get court-martialed, and it keeps my sanity in check. I figure since Johnny Ryan kept me outta trouble, I owe it to the guy to plug his merchandise here and to tell you fuckers about the cool shit he has for sale. Click on the link to the right for Angry Youth Comics to get a sample of his artwork and the style of his humor. Believe me, he's right on the money with what he does. Have you done it yet? Good. Now, click on this link to go see what's up for grabs. Johnny Ryan's Collective Art The picture of the cat using a telescope to watch rats fuck in the poor people's house is a real hoot! There's another pic of a black dude pointing to a telephone reciever and shouting "Yo! That shit's off da hook!". My fave has to deal with a certain "person" and a vacuum cleaner. I'll letchoo figure that one out. The bottom line kids is that if you're a celebrity, underground or otherwise, and you're cool with me, I will go to no end to promote your shit. A simple act of kindness goes a long way in my book and like I keep saying all the time - YOU GET THE MACHINE YOU DESERVE. Now hurry up and pay the man already.
