The Complete Stay as you are.

When the emperor wore plaid and people still hung phones on walls Brad Yungs weekly comic strip Stay as you are. was a beacon to the slacker generation that bathed in irony and rejected everything else.A true underground underdog the strip appeared in photocopied zines alternative weeklies small-town newspapers and a few national magazines. Too savage too biting its targets too spread out and numerous to mention the strip knew it was never going to achieve mainstream success and didnt care.The Complete Stay as you are. honours these remnants of a simpler yet more complicated time. A review once called Yung the worlds first meta-ironist -- if thats true he should probably apologize. But he wont.
