Viz Annual: The Jester's Shoes 2018

Filth! This item was bought for my 5 year old daughter as a Christmas stocking filler. I found her crying in her bedroom Christmas day night. She had been traumatised by the annual. She asked (through a torrent of tears) what 'bollocks' means. I picked up this so called annual and began to inspect its innards. Shocked I ran down the stairs, raced into the kitchen & screamed at my wife."What the hell kind of annual have you bought our daughter you daft bat?"My wife, with that gormless face she constantly carries, replied;"I dunno, it a Barbie book?.""LEARN TO READ!" I exclaimed in frustration.I suppose that's what you get for buying a Thai peasant for a wife.

Everything as advertised. Fast delivery and a good price.

I am absolutely outraged and completely disgusted that this " so called" collection of " so called " cartoons, although " not for sale to children " IS prominently displayed on the back cover, can be, and ,in fact, was sold in various bookish outlets for the princely sum of £10.99 and yet not six months later it was purchased by me for ridiculously low price of £0.01p + postage. I would happily pay TEN times that amount ( £0.10p + pp) if I thought that it would keep the poor producers of this tome in the style to which they have become accustomed. How dare they charge so little for something so vital to Britain's economy, I urge everyone to write to the Daily Mail forthwith. I thank you.

The cover was bent despite being a hardback. I feel certain it was done in the post and no fault of the shop. It doesn't get in the way of reading. It's a fun book which will take me some time to read. I opened it up and came across a full page "advertisement" for the Less Cake More Exercise diet. I used to enjoy Viz and I look forward to going through this book slowly.

If you are reading this and haven't yet experienced Viz, then where have you been all these years?The Fat Slags are still sh#@@ing there way through every man who comes into view.Spoilt Ba#@+rd still demands, and gets, what he wants from his mother.Roger Mellie (the man on the telly) is still on a mission to find the most crude and objectionable TV format in which to star.Not enough Finbarr Saunders, however.The highlights are from - as usual - the Viz readership themselves.Their letters and top-tips are worth the cost of this annual, so buy it!

I know it's childish crass and sexist and many other things but I can't help but enjoy VIZ , the format has not changed in a very long time and I hope it never does , in a world where we are so concerned with being PC and not upsetting anyone by saying or doing the wrong thing VIZ is a breath of fresh air and proudly stands up for the British sense of humour which doesn't care who the hell it upsets , LONG LIVE VIZ !!!!!!!!!

Still at the top for its genre, BUT started to be too predictable with the usual characters.Only ONE story had me laughing out loud, Mrs Brady and Dolly getting a new dog, THAT was a return to form.Same storylines as usual, but desperately needs new characters, OR the return of some of the old retired ones like Paul Whicker the Tall Vicar.8 Ace, Biffa, The Fat Slags and a lot of others should be rested for a time, and the owners should get some new writers and artists in. All so predictable. But a vital inclusion for your collection.

Being the huge fan of Viz that I truly am, although I have a print subscription to the comic, I still buy all of the albums. It's great - laugh out loud funny and I'd recommend it to anyone who refuses to grow up! For those who think that Viz is simply full of base toilet humour - read this and think again ...
