Is Callahan sick, brilliant, or both?,
This review is from: Do What He Says! He's Crazy! (Paperback)
"Do What He Says! He's Crazy!!" is a collection of cartoons by John Callahan. Callahan has a distinctive style: his crude drawings look like they were created by 10-year old juvenile delinquent with a hand injury. Callahan mercilessly mocks modern life. His twisted sense of humor embraces such topics as leprosy, torture, religion, eating disorders, bestiality, and especially suicide. He frequently mocks celebrities: Dan Quayle, Elvis, Picasso, Madonna (one of his favorite targets), and others. He is not shy about making fun of specific groups of people: blacks, Jews, Asians, the bald, the homeless, the handicapped, etc. Although most of his work features human characters, he occasionally includes other creatures: cows, flies, aliens, etc. His work often has a political edge. And despite their frequently dark subject matter, Callahan's cartoons have a playful quality which I find very appealing, and very amusing. In one of these cartoons, TV talk show host Geraldo Rivera is shown praying, "Thank you, God for all the tragedy, wretchedness and perversion in the world." Callahan could make that same prayer himself. His gift is to look at the absurd, violent cesspool of humanity and give us all something to laugh at.
