  Viz
Viz is a national institution Now 25 years old, Viz is one of the true greats of British publishing. It is an icon for British humour, a beacon of wit in a dark age of bland banality and a light relief from the grinding futility of every day life. Viz offers a unique mix of rude comic strips, tasteless crap gags and muscular use of sexual swear words. Cartoon characters like the Fat Slags, Roger Mellie and Sid the Sexist are as much part of British culture as shagging, drinking and fighting. The ‘Profanisaurus’ (a lexicon of British swearing and slang) is a genuine contribution to the culture of Britain. Some bits of the comic you will like and some you won’t but you are guaranteed to laugh out loud at something. It is important to remember when reading Viz that true humour and the laughter it produces are things of great rarity and value. No–one can deny the unique and brilliant contribution that Viz makes to the newsstands of Britain. |
