SNELSON (2021)
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.

SNELSON #2 CVR A HARPER (MR)
Snelson's standup comedy is two decades past its sell-by date, and hecklers now outnumber fans. His interpretation of this rejection-as "cancellation" for being edgy-propels Snelson to the fringes of alt-right podcasting. All AHOY titles include bonus illustrated prose stories.
