For two decades, Stan Mack published a weekly cartoon strip in the Village Voice in which he listened to New Yorkers and documented their sayings and subcultures, assuring readers: “all dialogue guaranteed verbatim.”
Now Mack and Fantagraphics have compiled hundreds of highlights from his archives into a book called “Stan Mack’s Real Life Funnies: The Collected Conceits, Delusions and Hijinks of New Yorkers from 1974 to 1995,” a document of late-20th century New York City — a time before cellphones when life was lived out loud.
He talks with guest host Alyssa Katz, THE CITY’s Executive Editor who worked at the Voice early in her career, in the latest episode of FAQ NYC Off Cycle.
