"Stephen Colbert's Tek Jansen" by John Layman & Tom Peyer


In the real world, Stephen Colbert is a walking parody of conservative pundits. You can’t take the guy seriously, mainly because he’s a comedian who puts on an act for his audience. In the graphic novel known as “Tek Jansen”, the title character, clearly based off of Colbert, is even more hilarious to be around. Take an episode of The Colbert Report and turn it into a sci-fi screwball comedy. Make up a whole bunch of alien races with ridiculous names and ridiculous features. Make Tek Jansen into a war-mongering, womanizing goofball who happens to be comically Gary-Stu material. The comedic efforts of this graphic novel are so obvious and goofy that you can’t help but crack a smile or even bust a gut. Then again, that’s the kind of thing we’d expect out of a pretend conservative like Stephen Colbert. If you learn nothing else from reading this graphic novel, then at least learn how to have a good time while you’re sticking your nose to the book crease. The main reason why we have so many conflicts and wars in this world is because we don’t know how to laugh at anything anymore. Our asses are so tight that not even a jelly bean could fit up there. Our mouths are so crooked that the next thing to come is a stream of tears. You know what this graphic novel says? It says as long as we’re going to have a bunch of horrible shit happen in this world, let’s liven it up a little bit! Never mind the fact that Katniss Everdeen is being hunted like a wild animal by teenagers who don’t know better. Never mind that Bella Swan can’t choose between necrophilia and bestiality. Never mind that Harry Potter is being tormented by an Ophidian sociopath who wants to rip his guts out and feed them to Bellatrix LaStrange, who would most likely eat them if given the opportunity. Seriously, have you looked into the mouth of that creepy ass woman? Cue the shivers. Take a break from the horrible violence for a minute and buy a copy of “Stephen Colbert’s Tek Jansen”. Your funny bone will thank you for it!

 

***COMEDIC QUOTE OF THE DAY***

“What exactly do white people have to be blue about? Banana Republic ran out of khakis? The espresso machine is jammed? Hootie and the Blowfish broke up? White people need to understand that it’s not their job to get the blues, it’s their job to give other people the blues.”
