Still the most criminally underrated comic book youtuber

"It shows but it doesn't reveal." Wonderful.

Another great comics review! Discovered your channel through the Cerebus video and absolutely love your recs

[@ThDirtyCurfDrummer]

Great review, Overlord. It's a shame that distribution companies are legally allowed to prevent the sale of anything they personally find objectionable. It should always be left up to the public as to what sells and what doesn't.

I was lucky enough to discover Yummy Fur in the 80's. I loved it. Great stuff.

artistic, weird and appreciated

[@22freedom33]

Never heard of this, that's tge exact reason why I subscribed here :)

[@suditeh]

I always liked the idea of plotting one page at a time. I enjoyed Moebius's Major fatal.

Ed the Happy clown anthology is one of my favorite comics of all time. I’d put it up there with a lot of the other stuff that’s inspired me.

[@peterlinfield]

Another fantastic, insightful, wonderfully crafted video. Thank you! I haven't read Chester Brown's earlier work, though I love Louis Riel, Paying For It, and Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus. This story is not at all what I has expected given how grounded his contemporary work has become. I'm definitely going to find the collected edition of Ed the Happy Clown, though it's disappointing to know that Brown removed sections. It would be interesting to see him return to this kind of graphic surrealistic work now that he's further honed his craft. Love the channel!

[@nerdfatha]

Thank you for putting out videos of obscure titles like this. this was fascinating!

[@aaronfrey4418]

One of my favorite comics of all time.

[@conroyjett]

Great analysis of one of the most brilliant comic series of all time.

[@Barbel1th]

HOW?! How do you have a Yummy Fur video, too?! How do you have so many interests that parallel mine? Are you me? Seriously though, I can't believe you have this great little video on your channel. Such an incredible series. I was only ever able to make one of my friends get invested in the book, but he ran with it. Ended up recreating the cover to #1 on a canvas with oil. It hung in our art class for approximately 3 days before the principal personally showed up to order it removed. The fact that Yummy Fur might be a euphemism for a vagina hadn't even occurred to me until this happened. Next thing I know you're gonna do a video on Eightball or something...

I've always though that Chester Brown would be a great subject for a serious critical look. He has such a diverse body of work. A lot of cartoonist seem to be just one thing, but he kept changing on his own.

[@fad23]

I remember seeing this on shelves for the first time. So distinctly nightmarish.

[@fad23]

I think the collection of Ed that I have is missing some of the very final chapters. According to Brown, they aren't really part of the story.

[@fad23]

But my copy of the collection is signed at least, since Chester Brown appeared at CAKE a couple years ago.

[@graefx]

That image feels way to similar to a scene in Joker to be accidental.

Daily reminder, Diamond has always been a horrible company that still has no problem screwing over retailers.

[@therussiancomicbookgeek]

Didn’t you already upload this?

[@BNK2442]

EtHC is so great.

[@mrs.wontkins9294]

Amen to that.

[@brunfranc]

A re-upload?

[@Brabbs]

Doing Gods work of exposure :) ....... literally? Oh god.

[@troycruikshank1027]

It upsets me that others being offended, or the fear of witch, can directly effect the content I choose to explore. Art in any form should be free from censorship. Given direct harm cannot be proven. Art must be free to drive our emotions and imagination. No matter what way we are driven. Content warnings are perfectly acceptable barriers of protection. Let people decide for themselves. And ignore what you see fit.

[@Iznikroc]

Yummy Fur is OK but Louis Riel is my favorite Chester Brown comic

[@tugger]

I love Ed the Happy clown and Paying for it, I have them both

[@fad23]

You may want to check out "Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus," which seems to follow up on "Paying for It," but with a biblical edge.

[@fad23]

Oh now I see that's addressed in the video.

[@CRUCIFi777]

Makes sense to the lost souls bound for an unpleasant end, more likely…disgusting story.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

why is it called gospel?

[@rolandkatsuragi]

"Obscenity busts?" Now that's just fascist censorship.

[@GirtheAlienGoldfish]

Comic censorship was a big thing in the50's because the values of those times were stiflingly conservative. The Red Scare was also in full swing, and they cracked down on any comics that weren't educational. Hence why a lot of comics of that era had some sort of sciencey theme. The effects of comic censorship of the 50's are still being felt to this day.

Butthole Portal is the name of my band 😅

Ennui on weed∴

[@Brilchan]

Sounds like a horrible comic dunno why it was so popular but guess that was the 80/90 but thanks for the well-made review.
