Synopsis
Nominated for a 2010 Will Eisner Comic Industry Award: You know MAD. Do you know Humbug?
The Barnes & Noble Review
How's this for an April Fool's joke? Page 22 of your favorite humor magazine announces: "In a dramatic editorial session last month, the editors decided, that considering the time of year, the following article must be published. We will probably receive violent reactions to this article -- praise and heated criticism. But this is the risk one takes in being bold and willing to take a stand. Remember -- the following is like nothing you have ever read in a magazine. Now steel yourself and turn the page." What followed? A politically charged satire? A sexually risqué parody? A controversial spoof on religion? Well, as you might guess, nothing like that. In fact, it was nothing, as promised. Blank pages, announcing at the end, "April Fool."
