Viz Annual 2024: The Barber's Pole by Viz Magazine

Any adventurer opening a copy of Viz - The Barbers Pole will be astounded by the comedy gold they will find haphazardly piled up within its covers. Because just like the tomb of an Egyptian Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, the 226 pages within its stout and glossy covers are packed with priceless treasures.

Viz Comic is an adult British comic that, since its inception in 1979, has carved out a unique niche in the landscape of British humour. Key to its continued success is its mixture of memorable comic characters, spoof news articles, fake adverts and regular features such as Letterbocks, Top Tips and Viz’s own dictionary of slang, Roger’s Profanisaurus.

Characters like The Fat Slags, Sid the Sexist and foul-mouthed Roger Mellie (“the Man on the Telly”) have become cultural icons in their own right, and Viz’s unique comic voice has left an indelible mark on British popular culture, with its influence felt across all media. Despite the comic’s self-effacing slogan that ‘it’s not as funny as it used to be’, Viz continues to remain a beloved national institution, just like Broadmoor Hospital for the Criminally Insane, the Porton Down Chemical Weapons Research Facility, and the Royal family.
