Woodrow Comics #2 by Chris Auman

Woodrow Comics #2 by Chris Auman! If you don’t know, The Woodrows are the most notorious and prolific punk bands in history. They’re loud, obnoxious, and rude. In short, they make perfect subjects for the crude and absurd comic that is Woodrow Comics.

Originally published in the mid 1990s, Woodrow Comics by Chris Auman features an annotated illustrated discography of the band’s recorded output in glorious black and white. Plus an interview with the band from the Reglar Wiglar zine.

WARNING: If you are offended by crude subject matter, juvenile humor, scatological references, and sophomoric sexual innuendo, DO NOT buy this very stupid comic.

The Saga Continues…

(from the intro to Woodrow Comics #2)

If you read Woodrow Comics #1, then you should be familiar with the Woodrows’ origin story. Here’s a summary: in 1986, two high school students attend a drug and alcohol prevention conference, are subsequently bored out of their minds, and start drawing comics about the most drug-addled, depraved punk rock band in history, The Woodrows.

In the ‘90s, the Woodrows appeared regularly in the Reglar Wiglar zine, as well as their own cheaply produced minicomics. This band of four brothers (Ricky, Toby, Marvy, and Erin) is crude, rude, juvenile, poorly drawn, and completely absurd, and yet they have survived in some form or another for close to four decades.

As I said in the previous issue, the point of this comic was never to make fun of addiction. It is simply a parody of punk stereotypes. Most of what appears here was published in issue #2 of the original mini-comic, along with some other relics. Enjoy!

Review of the Original Woodrow Comics by Chris Auman

This mini looks like it was drawn on a napkin in a bar late one Saturday night and printed at Kinko’s on the way home, but it’s pretty darn funny. I dunno, sometimes good things come in small packages. —Terry Laban, CUD comic
