Anyone old enough to remember reading the Village Voice back in the 1980s will surely remember Stan Mack's Real Life Funnies – "All dialogue guaranteed 100% overheard" – which appeared in pretty much every issue for the entire decade – and then some, as Real Life Funnies ran from the mid-1970s through to the early-1990s. Now at last comes the opportunity to revisit well over 300 of these classic strips, printed full size in this massive, 12 1/2" x 9 1/2", horizontally formatted, 336 page hardcover.
For anyone – probably most of you reading this – unfamiliar with Stan Mack's Real Life Funnies, we heartily recommend that you take a few minutes to read of few of them on Stan Mack's own site, HERE and HERE (just click on the thumbnails).
"Back in the day, Stan Mack's Real Life Funnies was a weekly treat that became addictive to many readers, including Voice writers like me. We couldn't turn away from the words and images so innocently set down by the wandering artist as he overheard New Yorkers blurting out the social, political, sexual, and status anxieties of a generation. Indelibly candid, funny, startling, and occasionally even profound, these vignettes depict a magical lost metropolis that forever shaped our culture." — Joe Conason (journalist, author, and former Village Voice staff writer)
