Johnny Ryan

John F. Ryan IV is an American alternative comics creator, writer, and animator. He created 'Angry Youth Comix', a comic book published by Fantagraphics, and "Blecky Yuckerella", a comic strip which originated in the alternative newspaper the Portland Mercury and now appears on Ryan's website. He also created "Pig Goat Banana Cricket", a TV show made jointly with Dave Cooper that Nickelodeon picked up. He was the story editor for "Looney Tunes Cartoons". In a throwback to the days of underground comix, Ryan's oeuvre is generally an attempt to be as shocking and irreverent as possible.
