Description

A reprint of Drew Friedman’s first book of comics from the pages of Raw magazine and in different places.

Finally back in print, Any Similarity… is a choice of Drew Friedman’s earliest comic strips and illustrations, featuring his most obsessively stippled black-and-white panels and his most hilarious wise-guy takes on the stars and demi-stars and never-somewhat-stars of that swamp we like to call showbiz.

In these strips, many of them written by his brother Josh Alan Friedman (both are sons of the legendary Bruce Jay Friedman: humor genes will tell!), the artist works out his obsession with such celebrities as Jim Nabors, Frank Sinatra Jr., Joe Franklin, Bob Hope, Andy Griffith… and Ed Wood, Jr. film star Tor Johnson, whom Friedman in reality catapulted back into some sort of semi-fame when these strips were first published in the 1980s.

Friedman is the type of pop-culture aficionado whose Three Stooges worship is focused not on Moe, Larry or Curly but on Shemp (whose unmistakable mug graces the new cover of this edition), and whose teasing adoration can ceaselessly be unsuitable for mockery or contempt. But who but a worshipful fan would lavish somewhat such a lot of dots on the loving delineation of these greats’ each pimple and wrinkle?
