Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles
Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles | Mark Russell
12 posts | 11 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
Heavens to Murgatroyd! Hanna-Barbera's very own Snagglepuss is reimagined in a brand-new series, EXIT STAGE LEFT: THE SNAGGLEPUSS CHRONICLES, by author Mark Russell (THE FLINTSTONES)! It's 1953. While the United States is locked in a nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union, the gay Southern playwright known as Snagglepuss is the toast of Broadway. But success has made him a target. As he plans for his next hit play, Snagglepuss becomes the focus of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. And when powerful forces align to purge show business of its most subversive voices, no one is safe! Written by Mark Russell, the critically acclaimed mastermind behind the award-winning PREZ VOL. 1 and THE FLINTSTONES, EXIT STAGE LEFT: THE SNAGGLEPUSS CHRONICLES, enters the Hanna-Barbera reimagined universe!

Getting back into this weird, dark, wonderful comic book.

RamsFan1963 I really liked the artwork on this, but I found the story too preachy and heavy handed. 2y

Mark Russell is unbelievable. Just like his take on the Flintstones, this is a brilliant political satire. This is a look at what it means to be an American set against a cold war McCarthy backdrop. In the words of S.P., “There‘s no such thing as a free country without it‘s subversives, radicals and undesirables.”

I enjoyed this reimagining of an old Hanna Barbera character. Despite the somewhat heavy handed delivery of the message and fudging around with historical accuracy, this comic is still a pretty solid pick for me.

CBee I adore Snagglepuss ♥️♥️♥️ 5y

Different enough to be interesting, but a bit heavy handed with its message. Too preachy to be very entertaining.

LibrarianRyan I have found that to be true of most of these revitalized Hannah Barbara GNs. But I love Scooby Do Apocolypse. 5y

I enjoyed this comic a lot, I liked the depth given to the gay cartoon icon, though I did struggle at first with the realistic art style. My only disappointment was discovering in the endnotes that the historical information wasn‘t as accurate as I had thought - people/places/events had been moved in time or playing a different role for a better story. I can see why they did it and it didn‘t detract from my enjoyment. Exitus sacrna sinistram.

A smart, funny & touching mashup of Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters with real life writers Tennessee Williams & William Faulkner, plus NYC 1950s gay scene & the American Cold War Communism scare. Lots of delightful pop culture references in the artwork & dialogue. Heavens to Murgatroyd! I really enjoyed this. #LGBT #comics

It‘s only page 2 and already I‘m loving the quippy humour. (“Pornography for PhDs”!!)

MiyakoBunny What is snagglepuss about? 😺 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @MiyakoBunny Snagglepuss is a famous, gay, playwright in the 50's, accused of being an Un-American communist. It's a little heavy handed and takes itself a little to seriously sometimes but it's a pretty dang interesting take in the Hanna Barbera classics! 👍 6y
MiyakoBunny That sounds really cool actually 😃 6y
