Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Sure, she's smelly and gross, but she's got a heart of gold!
This book is the very first collection of Johnny Ryan's weekly comic strip, Blecky Yuckerella, as seen in the pages of the Portland Mercury, Vice magazine and elsewhere. Blecky is a four-panel gag strip in the tradition of Underworld, Maakies, and Nancy, but with much more generous portions of piss, vomit, snot, farts, toe jam, b.o. and ear wax jokes. Blecky Yuckerella is the ugliest girl in the second grade, and the only one with three-day stubble. The strip's cast of characters also includes Blecky's Aunt Jiggles, her best friend Wedgie, Insanio the Cat, and many other absurdist goofballs, like Rich Bucksley (millionaire and 'high class idiot'), Unitard (the last retarded unicorn), the pregnant babies ('we're guaranteed to blow your mind!'), and Quasimodo Rose (the hunchback porn star). This is Ryan's third book for Fantagraphics, collecting over 100 strips for the very first time, and his unmistable blend of politically incorrect gags and social satire is as sharp as ever.

When I was in middle school, I wrote a story called Poopy Man, about a talking piece of doodoo who fought evil soap and my nerdy classmate Andy. I would also write scatological stories about Oddworld that were badly misspelled on purpose. Blecky Yuckerella is about equal in quality to those stories...I love gross-out humour, but it has to be more mature than these simplistic jokes. (I'm over 13, but am writing as a Kid's Review for anonymity.) Try reading a bizarro book instead.

"Blecky Yuckerella" is a series of one-page, four-panel vignettes in the life of an ugly, disgusting and sick-minded little girl. It's crude. It's mean-spirited. And creator Johnny Ryan obviously believes the toilet (and its associated functions) to be the greatest source of humour known to man.
Sure, toilet humour can be chuckle-worthy in the hands of a talented writer, but there's nothing creative or original here. There's nothing remotely funny -- unless you're the sort of person who f@rts at parties to impress members of the opposite sex. (It hasn't worked yet, has it? Think about that.)
This slim book should be easy to overlook on the shelf. Do yourself a favor and be sure you overlook it.

Johnny Ryan is my favorite cartoonist in the field today. This book collects the best of the Blecky Yuckerella weekly comic strip. Blecky is a nasty little girl with a five o'clock shadow and a bird-eating spider in her underwear. You probably won't see his Blecky Yuckerella strip in your daily newspaper because it is too good. I think the love/hate relationship she has with her best friend Wedgie is endearing. Ryan is at his best when he improvises and the Blecky comic strip is a prime example of his non-sequitor humor.

At very first blush, this seems like a silly book. But the deeper into the stink you go, the more it smells like roses. Enchanting and unforgettable!
