About Stan Mack’s Real Life Funnies:
Launched in 1974, Stan Mack’s Real Life Funnies became a fixture in the alternative newsweekly The Village Voice for more than two decades. The comic strip took an documentary-style approach to the topics on the minds of New Yorkers in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s with Mack relating the highlights and quirks of city living as well as more serious subjects including homelessness, gentrification, and AIDS.
