Product Description
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 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.

About the Author
Glenn McCoy long has been recognized by his peers as a superior cartoonist. In addition to his editorial cartoons, comic strip, and magazine cartoons, Glenn has designed and written for several animation studios, including Dreamworks SKG, Film Roman, and Walt Disney TV and Feature Animation.
Gary McCoy developed a lifelong love of cartooning alongside younger brother Glenn, and the syndicated strip The Flying McCoys is the culmination of that dream. Gary lives in Belleville, Illinois, just across the Mississippi River from the brothers' hometown of St. Louis.
Customer Reviews
Love this book.
Love all the cartoons and the topics are great. A funny look into our bold new world. I will be needing to buy another copy because the one at this house is constantly read/mauled here by family and vistors alike. This would make a great gift for anyone.
