The Flying McCoys: Comics for a Bold New World

Description
This zany strip enters the comic-collection scene with circus-like zeal. All that's missing is a parade of elephants and a clown-car escort. Gary and Glenn McCoy's delightfully absurd comic panel blends superheroes, office humor, huggable animals, and twisted relationships in a bizarre marriage of Gary Larson, the New Yorker, Conan O'Brien, and Mad Magazine. Put succinctly, the brothers McCoy present "comics for a bold new world." Creating a world where greeting cards heal hospital show more patients, police officers pull over children driving bumper cars, babies use the patch to quell the pacifier habit, and nudists find out what constitutes a streaker in their colony, the St. Louis area natives alternate writing and drawing duties for the daily panel. The brothers each have been nominated for multiple National Cartoonists Society awards, and Glenn has won in three categories. Gary McCoy's past as a comedian (he won HBO's Stand-Up Stand-Off contest for the St. Louis area in 1995) also shines through in the strip's offbeat humor. Their impressive freelance client list reads like a who's who in cartooning: Disney, DreamWorks, and Hyperion, to name just a few. show lessTags

This is a collection of one-panel comic strips by the Brothers McCoy. I am already a fan of Glenn McCoy through his strip, The Duplex. It's actually hard to see much distinction between the humor styles of the two brothers; both are clever, sardonic and adept at semi-dark humor. Glenn's artwork is more familiar to me, and I actually prefer it a tad to his brother's; it has a more distinctive style. But Gary is no slouch.
