The Flying McCoys

Gary and Glenn McCoy’s delightfully absurd comic panel takes superheroes, office humor, huggable animals, and twisted relationships, blending them in a bizarre marriage of Gary Larson, The New Yorker, Conan O’Brien, and Mad Magazine. Both award-winning humorists and cartoonists, this duo creates a one-of-a-kind comic panel.
