The Man, The Myth, The Legend....COWBOY WALLY!!

The Cowboy Wally Show presents the "Mockumentary" retrospective of the stellar career of TV "Legend" Cowboy Wally. The book unfolds like a real documentary- We get the "Candid Interview" first, followed by a rare screening of his French Foreign Legion epic "Sands of Blood", and, for the finale, a gut-busting screening, (as well as a behind-the-scenes glimpse), of the jail-house retelling of Hamlet, complete with a drag-queen Ophelia, and paper cut-outs filling in for actors. If you don't laugh at the prison scenes ("Hamlet......it's a nickname my mom calls me....") you must be dead. Kyle Baker is a genius!

Absolutely hysterical

This is, beyond a doubt, the single funniest graphic novel ever written. Stop reading this review and buy it. Now.

A Twisted Classic

I have to go along with the other reviewers - this is truly a twisted classic. It was the first book of Kyle Baker's I had read, and I never laughed so hard. The tragedy was when I lent my only copy to a friend who lost it (and it had gone out of print). Now that it's back in print, I bought TWO copies - one to keep and one to lend out. Share this with someone who has enough of an off-kilter sense of humor to appreciate this totally original and utterly fall-on-the-floor funny masterpiece.

Just buy it already

This is a funny, funny, book. Cutting social satire at it's peak. I have yet to met anyone who did not think this book was fantastic. Film Producer: Basically, we love the work you guys do and we want another movie from you....We're giving you a buget of 10 million. the thing is, for tax reasons, we need this movie by he end of the fiscal year.Wally: Sure! When's that?Film Producer: Next Friday.

"Stupid? I don't know the meaning of the word." --Wally

Everything you hate about TV and film, Kyle Baker REALLY hates about it and doesn't spare any of his wit in lashing out. This book is genius. Don't pass it up. I've read and seen more of his work than most and this is really the best. His new work should be coming within the next year! Buy this and Why I Hate Saturn and prove to Kyle that his fans can actually clammor for his work! Buy many copies and give them away at parties! Excerpt: Woman--"No. I think you're lying scum. Honest." Man--"That's nice of you to say."
