Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Doofus Omnibus by Rick Altergott Comic book series : Doofus omnibus. A slap-happy goon with a predilection for women's "stinkies" snatched from the laundry basket, Doofus is the most dismaying comic-book hero you'll ever find. The meticulous zip-a-toned artwork, reminiscent of 1950s EC sci-fi comics, just makes it worse. Altergott is a longtime cult favorite amongst such cultural luminaries as Dan Clowes (who provides the introduction to this book), R. Crumb, Terry Zwigoff, Simpsons executive producer George Meyer and others. This 112-page softcover reprints nearly every Doofus story ever created, including comics and newspaper strips — complete with 24 pages in full color! Hilariously offensive. "Rick Altergott is the unsung genius of American comedy. Doofus is an amazingly well-crafted conflation of queasy psychology, sub-moronic toilet humor and fine art." – Daniel Clowes. "All hail Doofus! The greatest comic out there. I want to direct the film version." – Terry Zwigoff. "I have nothing but the highest praise and admiration for all of Altergott's work." – R. Crumb. "Better witnessed than explained, Doofus is a fantastic compendium of American marginalia and degradation. – Publishers Weekly.

MATURE READERS SC, 7x10, 112pg, PC. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Rick Altergott lives in Seattle with his wife, cartoonist Ariel Bordeaux. Altergott is the unsung genius of American comedy. an amazingly well- crafted conflation of queasy psychology, sub-moronic toilet humor and fine art. (Daniel Clowes, author of Ghost World ) Rick Altergott's THE DOOFUS OMNIBUS. For nearly two decades, Rick Altergott has been entertaining select comics enthusiasts with his character Doofus , a short, pudgy, weirdo and jerk who lives in Flowertown, U.S.A. and hangs around with a group of retarded friends who are almost as despicable as he is. THE DOOFUS OMNIBUS is the first book collection of the mostly one-page strips that have appeared in the STRANGER (a Seattle weekly newspaper), Peter Bagge’s HATE, and several comics anthologies. Altergott is the cartoonists’ cartoonist, and has earned many admirers with his alluring comic art – a realist cartooning style that combines 1950’s advertising art with Mort Drucker and the masterful Wally Wood. Any cartoonist whose list of fans includes Daniel Clowes, R. Crumb, Jim Woodring, and Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez is worth noticing. Doofus, as a character, is hard to take in large does, and at over 100 pages, this book is too much Doofus. Still, it’s hard to stop looking at this fabulous little trade paperback. Doofus is like the car wreck that you have to stop and admire, and Altergott’s work is funny in the vein of work by R. Crumb, such animated TV series as “Family Guy” and “The Simpson,” and the crude but cogent humor of Dave Chappelle. I sincerely hope that I don’t have to wait another 20 years for the second omnibus of Doofus and Altergott.
