The first collection of cartoons from the "knife-eyed maniac". Irreverent, original, and always hilarious, Callahan's cartoons are sure to delight and offend. His cartoons have been published in Omni, Harper's, National Lampoon, and other publications.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Vulgar, grotesque, and hilarious!,
This review is from: Do Not Disturb Any Further (Paperback)
"Do Not Disturb Any Further" is a collection of one-panel cartoons by John Callahan. In a cover blurb, "Far Side" cartoonist Gary Larson says of Callahan, "[H]e makes my own work look normal."Callahan may be the ultimate politically incorrect cartoonist. Nothing is taboo in this book. He mines humor from the following subject matter: AIDS, blindness, obesity, hell, baldness, suicide, anal sex, eating disorders, demonic possession, crucifixion, homelessness, and evolution, among others. Callahan's subject matter is well served by his ultra-crude drawing style. His grotesque human figures are ugly and misshapen (but oddly endearing!). I'll describe two typical cartoons from this book. A female Grim Reaper, accompanied by two Reaper children, encounters a man giving away free puppies. The little Reapers excitedly ask, "Mommy! Mommy! Can we kill the puppies?" In another equally warped cartoon, a man is confronting his topless wife, one of whose breasts has been replaced by a pirate hook. He exclaims, "You're going back to that surgeon and demanding a more attractive prosthetic device!" Is Callahan the most depraved and offensive cartoonist of all time? I don't know, but I do think he's one of the funniest. If you've got a strong stomach and a thick skin, enjoy!

This review is from: Do Not Disturb Any Further (Paperback)
I've shown this book to many friends. Watching as they look through it, I have yet to find one person who does not laugh out loud, usually within the first few pages, and then it gets louder. Callahan spoofs holy cows others dare not touch.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Callahan was The Man!,
By Robert (Chevy Chase, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Do Not Disturb Any Further (Paperback)
The late John Callahan was certainly unique and had a view of the world unlike many others. Besides being very funny, what made me a Callahan fan was that he was a multiple paraplegic who drew his cartoons with a foot (it's true, you can look it up). "Do Not Disturb Any Further" is one of my favorite publications and over the years I've ordered many copies for friends and family.
