From their humble beginnings in vaudeville to their Hollywood golden age in the '30s and '40s to their boomer-led television renaissance of the '60s and beyond, the Three Stooges have transcended time and delighted generations with their brand of elemental slapstick. The Journal of Stoogeological Studies liberates Moe, Larry, Curly, Shemp, Joe, and Curly-Joe from the prism of nostalgia, with original essays, reviews, interviews, and art about all facets of the Stooges' long career. You'll find expert rundowns of the best and strangest Stooge films... scholarly articles that analyze the comedians in their cultural context... interviews with artist Drew Friedman, filmmaker Guy Maddin, and Saxon Sitka, the son of beloved character actor Emil Sitka... appreciations of forgotten Stooge ephemera like the Shemp Howard solo vehicle Crazy Knights and the Stooges' record with Yogi Bear... and personal essays that pay tribute to the men behind the eye-pokes. Edited by Will Sloan and featuring contributions from Brian Abrams, Kevin Bahr, Reid Blakley, Justin Decloux, Nicholas Diak, Joe Gibson, Austin Kimmell, Owen Kline, Jackson Reinhardt, Brendan Reynolds, Alex Rudolph, Christopher Small, Jack Theakston, Laurel Valentine, Harry Westergaard, and Tristan Yonce. It's a loving tribute cinema's most enduring comedy team - by Stoogeoholics, for Stoogeoholics.
