Written by Paul Constant. Art and Cover by Fred Harper. In the 1990s, 'edgy' standup comic Melville Snelson had it all - but twenty-five years later, his jokes come off as tired and offensive. Desperate for a comeback, Snelson sets out on tour with a group of young, socially conscious comedians. Can a '90s has-been hit the big time, or is Snelson about to be canceled for good? A hilarious, definitely adult contemporary satire that mocks the dying breaths of white male entitlement, from the writer of AHOY's Planet of the Nerds. 28 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $3.99.
