Stan Mack’s Real Life Funnies: The Collected Conceits, Delusions, and Hijinks of New Yorkers from 1974 to 1995

Reviewed by Stan Mack

Now, here’s a cover that immediately takes you back to the hustle and bustle of New York City—Stan Mack’s “Real Life Funnies.” The illustrations are like a snapshot of Manhattan in the 70s to 90s, complete with eccentric characters and all the quirks that make New Yorkers, well, New Yorkers. You’ve got everything from dog walkers who forgot the “litter” part of the rule, to the quintessential park bench nappers, and a few street philosophers to round it all out. The cover itself is a delightful chaos, much like the city it depicts.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Summary: A cover that perfectly captures the quirky essence of New York City through decades of hilarious real-life moments, promising a humorous read.
