Book excerpt: A lushly illustrated comedy zine geared toward those enlightened souls who understand the genius of Joan Rivers and Adam Sandler. Conceived in 2001 by editor Jay Ruttenberg while he was working as a music critic at Time Out New York, it features the work of moonlighting professionals from the hallowed worlds of journalism, rock music, cartooning and television. A dozen years in the making, the anthology is the finest product to come out of Lowbrow Reader headquarters, gathering together the best writing and drawings from the journal's 8 issues along with new material.
