  • The Unfunnies
rdfs:comment
  • The comic uses cartoon characters drawn in a simple style similar to Hanna-Barbera and photographs to tell the story of a comic world gone wrong. The plot intertwines several storylines that eventually meet in the end.
  • The Unfunnies is a four-issue "horror" comic book written by Mark Millar with art by Anthony Williams. Quite frankly, it lives up to its name. A world resembling classic Nelvana/Hanna-Barbera cartoons is becoming increasingly messed up as characters discover sex, swearing and murder. Little do they know that it's the work of the creator of their world, Troy Hicks, who's a child molester/killer who used occult magic to switch places with one of the cartoon characters in order to escape from death row.

  • The Unfunnies is a four-issue "horror" comic book written by Mark Millar with art by Anthony Williams. Quite frankly, it lives up to its name. A world resembling classic Nelvana/Hanna-Barbera cartoons is becoming increasingly messed up as characters discover sex, swearing and murder. Little do they know that it's the work of the creator of their world, Troy Hicks, who's a child molester/killer who used occult magic to switch places with one of the cartoon characters in order to escape from death row. Issues 1 and 2 were released in 2004, and were re-released in 2007 together as The First Follies. Issues 3 and 4 were released in 2007. Each of the regular issues were released with two covers -- a mass-market cover, and an "offensive" cover.
