Monkey Business: A Flying McCoys Collection [Paperback]

Glenn McCoy (Author), Gary McCoy (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2007

Doesn't get better than this. . . . The world of the McCoy brothers mirrors my own talking dogs at an AA meeting." --Whoopi Goldberg

* Brothers Glenn and Gary McCoy, creators of The Flying McCoys, syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate, deliver their high-wire act onto the printed page by rotating duties daily.

These brothers are the real McCoy. Glenn and Gary take turns writing and drawing their own panels each day. Such a balancing of efforts ensures a fresh approach to each and every McCoy cartoon panel.

* The brothers' delightfully absurd take on superheroes, office humor, huggable animals, and twisted relationships is the stuff of the New Yorker, Conan O'Brien, and Mad magazine combined.

* Both Glenn and Gary have been honored for their cartooning talents by the National Cartoonists Society.

About the Author

Glenn McCoy was born in St. Louis in 1965 and began drawing at age four. Over the past eight years, the National Cartoonists Society has twice named Glenn the Magazine Cartoonist of the Year. His editorial cartoons, syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate, have been reprinted in the New York Times, USA Today and Newsweek, and frequently appear on CNN.

Gary McCoy was born in 1962. Gary's work as a graphic artist and freelance cartoonist has generated an impressive client list, including companies such as Anheuser-Busch, Gibson Greetings, Disney's ABC.com, and Playboy magazine. To date, his work has garnered him three consecutive, and five total, nominations from the National Cartoonists Society-three as Best Gag Cartoonist, and two as Best Greeting Card cartoonist.

Both live in Belleville, Ill.-just across the Mississippi River from their hometown of St. Louis, Mo.

Glenn and Gary have put together a fun compendium of their dialy comics for Universal McMeel. Of the two brothers Glenn has a more detailed drawing style and Gary has a more biting sarcastic writing style. It's amazing that two brothers can work together in the same medium. It would be interesting to get an insight on how they collaborate. Putting out seven comics a week is no easy feat and being two for the task is a good solution. Getting enough funny ideas every day must be murder. It's a full time job, or two full time jobs in this case. Funny book at a steal. **** (4 stars)
