Note(s) : "A collection of legendary absurdist comic strips about life in 1970s New York City,
now available in print for the first time in over thirty years. Every week, from 1978
to 1980, The Village Voice brought a new installment of Mark Alan Stamaty's uproarious,
endlessly inventive strip MacDoodle Street. Centering more or less on Malcolm Frazzle,
a blocked poet struggling to complete his latest lyric for Dishwasher Monthly, Stamaty's
creation encompassed a dizzying array of characters, stories, jokes, and digressions.
One week might feature the ongoing battle between irate businessmen and bearded beatniks
for control of a Greenwich Village coffee shop, the next might reveal a dastardly
plot involving a genetically engineered dishwashing monkey, or the frustrated dreams
of an irascible, over-caffeinated painter, or the mysterious visions of a duffle-coated
soothsayer on the bus. Not to mention the variable moods and longings of the comic
strip itself.... And somehow, in the end, it all fits together. MacDoodle Street is
more than just a hilarious weekly strip; it is a great comic novel, a thrilling, surprising,
unexpectedly moving ode to art, life, and New York City. This new edition features
a brand-new, twenty-page autobiographical comic by Stamaty explaining what happened
next and why MacDoodle Street never returned, in a unique, funny, and poignant look
at the struggles and joys of being an artist"
