About

Barry Loser returns in a new, full-colour graphic novel format, celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Barry Loser series. The book includes three short stories that are packed with Surreal, daft humour. Barry and his friends (Bunky, Nancy, etc.) get into all kinds of misadventures. 

Barry’s dad magically turns into a vending machine, and Barry has a hilarious time trying to “press his buttons” to make Dad do things he wants. 

Another story explores what happens when Barry is subjected to the most boring grown-up story in the world. The boredom has absurd, exaggerated effects on his mind and body. 

There’s also a third story (among the three) in the book—these are “bit-size, full-colour graphic novel stories” designed to be funny, fast-paced, and perfect for fans of comic style humour. 

In addition to the stories, there are “how to draw” sections, so young readers can try creating their own comics. It’s a fun mix of friendship, absurd comedy, imagination, and visual hijinks.
